# Accepting SMF-3 retired on your behalf (FF & CO)

An FF & CO who does not have a Katalist account can have an SC, FF or FA retire tokens on their behalf. They will receive the statement via e-mail and can accept it by following these steps.

**1)** The first time you have SMF-3 retired on your behalf from a specific company, you will receive an email asking to confirm that the information provided by your supplier is correct. Please review this information and click confirm if it is correct.

**2)** You will then receive an email with a draft retirement statement attached. Please review this statement to ensure it matches your agreement, and review the email text before clicking "Confirm." If you have asked your supplier to send the retirement statements to multiple email addresses, all recipients will receive this draft statement. However, only the employee listed as the final approver can confirm or reject the retirement.

**3)** Once you have confirmed, the Registry Administrator will review this retirement. When approved by the Administrator you will receive an email containing the final retirement statement. If you have asked your supplier to send the retirement statements to multiple email addresses, all recipients will receive this final statement. No further action is needed from you.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://energy-web-foundation.gitbook.io/katalist/guidelines/how-to-use-katalist/accepting-smf-3-retired-on-your-behalf-ff-and-co.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
