SEACATS incident number consists of which element?

• A. The FPF number
• B. The FPF number
• C. Incident number only
• D. Case ID

Answer: (B)

The incident number is built around the FPF number because the FPF (field processing/file) number serves as the primary identifier for the case in SEACATS. All actions, documents, and events related to that incident are linked to this single FPF reference, so the incident’s identity relies on that FPF number. In practice, you use the FPF number to locate and cross-reference the entire record set for the incident, making it the essential element that the incident number consists of. Other identifiers like a standalone incident identifier or a separate Case ID don’t provide the same centralized linkage across SEACATS records.
