A C14 FATAL error or C16 WARN warning can occur when an improper value is entered in the Postal Code field. The errors appear after you submit a Suspicious Activity Report in XML (SARX) to the Financial Crimes Network (FinCEN).

The errors occur because an invalid value for a ZIP code or postal code is not detected after you click the Validate Report button.

The workaround is to enter the correct ZIP code or postal code. Ensure that future codes are entered correctly without relying on the Validate Report button to verify the field value.

The "Validate Report" feature might fail to detect an invalid ZIP code or postal code in the "Postal Code" field in a SARX report. You then see a "C14 FATAL error" or "C16 WARN" warning regarding the "14. Address: ZIP/Postal Code" field after you submit the report to FinCEN.
