The status of the Submission varies depending on the Method used to sent the file to Bacs.
For a Bureau submission, or a Direct submission, using unattended HSM (Hardware Security Module) the process would be:
“Pending Submission” and then either “Submitted” or “Submitted With Errors”.
For a submission using a Bacs Smart Card the process would be:
“Awaiting Signature”, then “Signed”, “Sending” and then either “Submitted”, “Submitted With Errors” or “Error”.
