If errors are discovered on a manifest after the manifest has a Status of "Signed-Completed", the manifest may be corrected. Any party to the manifest (i.e., the generator, transporter(s), broker, receiving facility, or alternate receiving facility) may initiate the corrections process by clicking the "eye" icon next to the manifest to correct on the e-Manifest Dashboard from either the "Received" section or the "Paper Manifests (Image-Only)" section then clicking the "Make Correction" button next to the Status or at the bottom of the page. This topic will provide information on the various aspects of correcting a manifest. This includes:
The manifest data that you are allowed to change varies based on the type of manifest (electronic/hybrid, paper only, or paper+data) that you are correcting. Users are not able to change the Manifest Tracking Number nor are they allowed to change the site (receiving facility or alternate receiving facility) that was invoiced for this manifest. To request a correction of the Manifest Tracking Number or have questions regarding your invoice, contact e-manifestfinancialhelp@epa.gov. The information provided below gives a general overview of the data that can be changed for each manifest type.
ELECTRONIC / HYBRID
Electronic and hybrid manifests allow the user to make corrections to the following data:
PAPER + DATA
Paper + Data manifests allow the user to make corrections to the following data:
PAPER ONLY
The Paper Only manifests only allows the user to reload the paper manifest attachment and update the generator information. No other data may be revised or corrected.
Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page to save your corrections. At a later date, your corrections will need to be electronically signed (see below) or reverted to the most recently signed manifest. To revert the manifest back to the most recently signed manifest, click the "Revert" button. The corrections that you saved will be discarded and the manifest data displayed will reflect the data from the most recently signed manifest. The manifest will remain in the "Under Correction" status until your corrections are electronically signed or reverted.
Once a correction is initiated, one party (i.e., the generator, transporter, receiving facility, or alternate receiving facility) must re-sign the manifest to certify the corrections. While Brokers may initiate a correction to a manifest, they may not sign the corrected manifest. Only handlers on the manifest may sign the corrected manifest. Once the manifest has been re-signed, the manifest status is set to "Corrected". To make additional corrections, the corrections process must be re-initiated by clicking the "Make Correction" button. To discard the corrections, click the "Revert" button (see above). Note: You cannot revert to a previous manifest once the corrections to the manifest have been re-signed. However, the application maintains all versions of the manifest and may be referenced as needed.
Every time a correction is initiated a new version of the manifest is created. To see previous versions of the manifest, from the correction page, click the "History" icon in the top right-hand corner of the General Information section, to open the Manifest History window, then click the "eye" icon next to the version of interest. You may also view all the changes between versions by clicking the "See all changes between versions" link at the bottom of the screen. Note: You can only make corrections to the current version of the manifest.
