Upload acknowledgment XML file

The Acknowledgment (ACK) message is a message sent out from the receiver’s system to inform the sender whether the submission record has been loaded successfully or rejected when the operation is initiated to import the safety data into the receiver’s database. For the E2B XML file submission approach, the ACK XML file can be uploaded manually as evidence of successful submission. This file is usually provided by the receiver.

To upload the acknowledgment (ACK) XML file
  1. In the PV application header, select the ICSR tab.

  2. On the ICSR List page that opens, in the table, locate the ICSR record for which the submission record is already generated. Then select its case number to open the details page in the new browser tab.

    Alternatively, from the Actions column next to your ICSR, select Edit pencil_icon.png to open the ICSR details in the same browser tab.

  5. In the ACK section of the submission record, select arrow_up_upload_gray.jpg to upload the ACK message file from your computer.

  6. From the workspace toolbar, select SAVE diskette_icon.png.

  7. Then from the same workspace toolbar, select ACK Parse ack_icon_new.png.

Once selected, the uploaded ACK message is parsed and it updates the ACK message for the submission record. In case the parsing error occurs, consider reuploading a file or trying another one.
