Flag reports use specific codes to indicate the action taken on a member’s SFPA Flags. The initial flag report is the entry that creates the flag state on a personnel record. When you need to add or remove SFPA Flags, you’re effectively establishing or resetting the flags on file, which is what the initial report does. The other codes have different purposes: a final report communicates the conclusion of a review; an erroneous report is used to correct a mistake in a previously submitted report; an update flag code would be used for changes to an existing flag after the baseline has been set, not for establishing the initial state. Therefore, the initial flag report code is the correct choice for adding or removing SFPA Flags from a member’s personnel record.
