Problem Note 60617: You see a "Subject identification type contains an invalid code" error in a FinCEN response file for a report generated by SAS® Anti-Money Laundering

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

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: 

Subject identification type contains an invalid code.

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.

Hot Fix

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

After you install the hot fix, SAS Anti-Money Laundering maps the subject ID types into the correct codes in SAR and CTR.

The hot fix provides new versions of report configuration files that are required to circumvent this issue. After you apply the hot fix, perform the steps below:

  1. Use the Administration tab of the SAS Anti-Money Laundering application to download a copy of the following report configuration files:
  • fincen_sar_config.xml
  • fincen_ctr_config.xml
  1. Make a backup copy of these report configuration files.
  2. Locate the new versions of the report configuration files that were installed with the hot fix in the following path:
    • $SASHOME/SASComplianceSolutionsMidTier/6.3/deploy/reportconfig
  3. Compare the new versions of the report configuration files with your files.
  4. If you made any customizations to either of the files, merge your changes into the new versions provided with the hot fix.
  5. Use the Administration tab of the SAS Anti-Money Laundering application to upload the modified report configuration files.
