   Use the following method to report "Out of Period" data in what is called a Supplemental return. The key elements in a supplemental return are the period begin and end dates which must cover the manifest dates. The TypeOfFiling will still be Original. At the Report level you will need to add an AmendedReason element. The value should be "Supplemental". Include only the new information that was not supplied in the original return for the period.

3. Replace Returns:

   Replace returns are used in the rare case when a previously submitted and accepted return needs to be replaced. When a replace file is received it will be validated against the schema and our business rules. Acknowledgments will be generated as usual. When the file is accepted and identified as a "Replace", it will be placed on a work list for review by an excise auditor.  Upon their approval the file will become the file of record. To create a "Replace" file you will need to set the TypeOfFiling to "Replace". All other schema validation rules are the same.
