The Department of Finance is excited about the next major release of ACRIS (Release 4.0), which is scheduled to go into production on December 3, 2007. I wanted to update you about one of the enhancements that will be included in this release.

• All documents within a transaction (which contains both accepted and rejected documents) will be returned to the "Presenter" parties of the transaction - as happens today.
• The accepted documents in the transaction will remain locked in ACRIS, and their status will show as "Accepted". No changes can be made to the accepted documents and should not be returned to the City Register. The documents can not be deleted or re-sequenced in the transaction.
• Once the necessary corrections have been made to the rejected documents, return only the rejected documents to the City Register.
• Only the resubmitted rejected documents will be scanned and re-examined.
• When these resubmitted rejected documents have been accepted by the City Register the entire transaction will be recorded.
• The resubmitted documents will be mailed to the "Return To" parties with recording and endorsement pages for all of the documents in the transaction, and a letter summarizing the returned information for all of the documents in the transaction.
• An email will be sent to the ACRIS customer who created the Cover Pages notifying them that the transaction has been recorded.
• The "Presenter" party can then return the accepted documents to the "Return To" party.
