3.2 Operational Steps
- Identification – Run automated queries to flag all ERs without valid location attributes in SET 4.
- Verification – Manual review to confirm location impossibility (e.g., missing source site).
- Status Change – Update status from “Active” or “Pending” to “Temporarily Closed for Publication.”
- Documentation – Log the closure reason, date, responsible party, and SET 4 marker.
