Rejections are either file rejections or record rejections.

While a file may be accepted, individual records within it may be rejected.

Terminology in vExchange	File Rejections (formerly called Pre-validator Rejections)	Return Record (RR) Rejections
Checked By	Pre-validator	Validator
What is checked?	Each file is checked for proper formatting.	Each record in a file is checked against field criteria.*
What happens if rejected?	Entire file is rejected; file will not load.	One or multiple records within a file are rejected.
	vExchange creates a rejected file called [OriginalFileName]_Rejections_Reasons.txt. That file, along with the original file, is placed in your ftp rejections folder (fromVertican\Rejections) and you receive an email.	In some cases, records are accepted but identified with an error message. For example, an Empty Record error message is flagged so the Sender can check whether or not the empty record is intentional.
Where are rejections visible?	(1) Rejected files are in your Rejections folder along with details about each problem.	Rejection reports are on the FTP in the "fromVertican" folder > Rejections folder. Each file name starts with "RR_", which stands for "Return Record". At the end of the file, you will see the rejection type and error message.
	(2) Rejected files are displayed in your File Rejections reports with details about each problem.
How do I fix a rejection?	Address the rejection reason listed in the [OriginalFileName]_Rejections_Reasons.txt file or listed in the File Rejections reports. When you fix the file, you must rename it or it will be rejected again. Place the fixed file with the new name into both the “toVertican” folder and the “toVertican\[Sender]" folder.	Address the Return Record (RR) rejection reason listed in the Rejection files. Learn more about these rejection reasons by clicking on the Record Rejections tab at the top of this page. You will see a chart of the different rejection types and error messages, with instructions for how to fix errors.

* NOTE: Field criteria defined by Vertican can be found in the Record Rejections tab on this page. In addition to Vertican criteria, participating Senders can also define rules within vExchange to ensure that complete and accurate data is transmitted. These rules are called Gates. If data violates any Gates/rules, it will appear on that Sender’s Rejection Reports. Rejection Reports are only available to participating Senders and firms that receive placements from them.
