Application Created in Error - Intake Rejection Officer

The following process should be used where an intake officer notices they have created an application in error and the error is noticed before any notification has been sent. The intake officer will delete all the deed(s) fields including the email addresses to prevent any notifications being sent and will pass the flysheet to the rejection officer to cancel the application. If the application is created in error but is not noticed until the plans or legal settle stage, the appropriate post intake rejection process should be followed.
