Recovering a Deleted Filing

If you accidentally delete an unfiled filing, the best path to recovery depends on whether a prior filing for that rule has ever been successfully filed.

Option 1: A Prior Filing Exists

If at least one filing for this rule has previously been filed, you can recover by reopening the prior filing and refiling it. This will regenerate the missing filing without affecting the original filing's recorded date or details.

  1. Go to the Filings tab and locate the most recent filed filing for that rule.
  2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon.
  3. Change the Status to Not Filed (Reopen) and save.
  4. The filing reappears at the top of the Filings list as needing to be filed.
  5. Click File Now and submit without changing any fields.

The system will then create a new copy of the next filing in that series using the existing rule. Your original filing data (submission date, confirmation number, attached documents, etc...) for the previous filing will all be preserved.

Option 2: No Prior Filing Exists

If this filing rule has never been previously recorded as filed in Equipath, you will need to delete and recreate the filing rule. During the process be sure to note down the original filing's name, frequency, due date rule.

  1. Go to the Registrations tab and locate the registration for the relevant entity and jurisdiction. Use the filters to narrow the list if needed.
  2. Click on the registration row to open the record (avoid the Compliance column, which will take you to Filings instead).
  3. Click the Filing Rules step at the top of the pop-up.
  4. Find the relevant rule, noting any details you need to recreate it and then click the Delete (trash) icon.
  5. Confirm the deletion in the popup by clicking Delete Rule.
  6. Click + Add Rule and recreate the rule using the original filing name, frequency, due date rule, and due date. Use the due date of the filing you deleted as the starting due date for the new rule.
  7. Click Save Rule, then Next to reach the Review step.
  8. Click Update Registration.

The system will then generate a new filing for the recreated rule.
