Question: Will an EDGE Server Enrollment Submission (ESES) with an error be considered 'not confirmed' and become inactive?

Answer: If enrollment record X is stored as active in the system and an updated enrollment file is submitted with an error in enrollment record X, then the new enrollment record X will be rejected and the status of the stored version of enrollment record X will be changed to inactive (since the new enrollment file did not contain an accepted version of enrollment record X). Issuers will receive outbound files listing all enrollees and enrollment periods that were changed to an inactive status.
