Confirmation Statement schema

Confirmation Statement (New Annual Return)
1

What is the response schema sent from Companies House after a Confirmation Statement submission ?

Can you please confirm if you will be reusing the existing ARO1 Success & Failure schemas ?

please refer to example below:

Failure

-<Body>
 -<SubmissionStatus>
  -<Status>
    <SubmissionNumber>ADEa17</SubmissionNumber>
    <StatusCode>REJECT</StatusCode>
    <CompanyNumber>SC987654</CompanyNumber>
    -<Rejections>
     -<Reject>
      <RejectCode>3082</RejectCode>
      <Description>Some reject text</Description>
      <InstanceNumber>1</InstanceNumber>
     </Reject>
-<Reject>
      <RejectCode>259</RejectCode>
      <Description>Some reject text.</Description>
     <InstanceNumber>2</InstanceNumber>
    </Reject>
  </Rejections>
  </Status>
 </SubmissionStatus>
</Body>

please provide example of Success schema & also provide list of rejection codes and thier meanings

There is an example under GetSubmissionStatus of a rejection
http://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk/examples/GetSubmissionStatus_response.xml
Here is an example of an accept response

Sorry we have never published the reject codes, if this is something you would like to raise as something we can look at in the future you can contact our product team
Simon Nicholas snicholas@companieshouse.gov.uk

excellent, thank you very much for the quick reply

i will contact Simon, as we need to understand why a submission was rejected so as to inform the user how to rectify the situation

You get the reject reason in the reply, the reason and code you get is what the system stores, so not sure what extra detail you are looking for. Do you have an example?

hi Chris, can you please confirm if there are any company types that are not appropriate for sending a Confirmation Statement ?

Do the same company type restrictions that apply to the AR01 still apply ?

i will ask policy to answer this for you
