In SAS Anti-Money Laundering, you can produce a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) or a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). After you file the report, you might receive an error similar to the following in the FinCEN response file: 

The problem occurs because SAR and CTR contain different acceptable subject ID type codes. For example, a subject ID type that is populated correctly in a SAR might not be populated correctly in a CTR.

To work around the problem, do not use the subject ID types that are generated automatically by the system. Instead, edit the subject identification information for the subject in the Subject Identification table on the Edit Subject screen, and select the ID type.
