Workaround Instructions for CHEDs Stuck "In Progress"

Step 1: Competent Authority Action

  • Locate the CHED that is stuck in the "In Progress" status.
  • Change the CHED status back to "Amend".

Step 2: Trader/Agent Action

  • Once the CHED is in "Amend" status, the trader or agent must resubmit the CHED.

Outcome

  • This process should allow the CHED to continue through the normal workflow without further issues
