After discussing with Argus and Hongjing, we have decided to focus on the Notice of Withdrawal logic for existing businesses in this ticket. The temporary business scenario will be excluded for now.

Notes for QA - Notice of Withdrawal (NoW) for Existing Businesses

Note: As discussed with Argus and Hongjing, the temporary business scenario requires further design and investigation. Due to priorities, work on the Notice of Withdrawal (NoW) for temporary businesses is currently on hold. This ticket focuses only on implementing allowable actions for existing businesses.

Step 1: Ensure that the allowable actions for BC, BEN, CC, ULC company types (including their Continued In versions: C, CCC, CBEN & CUL).

Step 2: We can use the BC company type for testing in the dev environment. The returned results can be viewed via the get-business API:

GET: {{url}}/api/v2/businesses/:id

1. No FED Filings For a business that is active without any FED filings, confirm that the NoW action is blocked.

   

2. Frozen Business For a business that is active but frozen, the NoW should also be blocked.

   

3. Pending or Draft Filings If a business has a pending or draft filing, the NoW should be disallowed.

   

4. Ensure the NoW is staff-only

   

5. Valid request

For businesses that meet all the necessary conditions (e.g., have FED filings, are not frozen, and have no pending or draft filings, business are active, and the user is a staff member), the NoW should appear in the list of allowable actions.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance with the testing steps.
