RFI Examples

This guide walks through how clients respond to RFIs. For a list of RFI types and definitions, see Transaction RFI Types.

Step 1: Review webhook

The client is expected to consume the Transaction Compliance Status event to figure out if there is any change in thecomplianceStatus of the transaction.

Step 2: Fetch the transaction

The client is expected to call the Get Transaction API after receiving the webhook event.

Next, the client must review the complianceStatus field of the event to figure out the current compliance status of the transaction.

If complianceStatus returns RFI_REQUESTED, then the client should consume the information contained in rfiDetails field in the Fetch Transaction response.

Step 3: Review rfiDetails

The rfiDetails field is an array of objects, each containing the details of the RFI request. The client should review the details inside these objects:

  • The RFI's unique identifiers (rfiHashId, rfiId and rfiStatus) help identify the RFIs.
  • descriptionand remarks parameters help identify why an RFI was raised.
  • transactionEntityType parameter helps identify who the RFI is for - DEBTOR or CREDITOR.
  • Use the type, documentType & requiredData field to respond to the RFI.

Based on the above Get Transaction response snippet, we can identify that,

  • The RFIs with the following unique IDs needs a response:
    • rfiId=ff18e4f5-0eb2-4eb7-a57b-2e6fe7efd975
    • rfiHashId=9d6676fb-e6b9-435f-9c4b-f47f7f72b9a0 and 42306dfe-32e8-49db-b33a-ba3718be1b85
    • rfiStatus = RFI_REQUESTED
  • The RFIs with the following unique IDs have already been responded to and doesn't need further action from the client. This is detailed in the rfiStatus field with the response returning RFI_RESPONDED.
    • rfiId = ff18e4f5-0eb2-4eb7-a57b-2e6fe7efd975
    • rfiHashId=29eb2280-a52a-418b-8749-bdc29f9c0623
