# Track a Manual Transmission

If you cannot submit an ICSR electronically using an AS2 gateway, for example if you must submit an FDA 3500A report for a study, you can record and track manual <a href="/en/gr/01264/#icsr-transmission-types">ICSR _Transmissions_</a> outside of Safety.

Vault includes a Manual Transmission workflow to track past submissions and status of ongoing submissions. This page describes the default Manual Transmission workflow. However, your organization may have a custom configuration.

      <p><strong>Note</strong>: Other than Origin and Destination, Vault Safety does automatically populate fields from the Transmission Profile on manually created Submissions or Distributions. You must populate the remaining fields (such as Message Subject and Message Body for Email Transmissions) manually in order for the system to send the Transmission successfully.</p>

## Prerequisites

* The _Transmission_ must be <a href="/en/gr/1022564/">created</a>, either as a _Submission_ or _Distribution_.
* To populate the sender contact details on the generated ICSR, the Sender User should have full contact and organization details on their <a href="/en/gr/01274/#add-user-contact-information">Vault Safety account</a>.

## Generate the ICSR Document for Submission

4. Expand the **All Actions** menu, and then select **Generate Transmission Document(s)**.

**Result**

The system generates the case report document and adds a link to the document to the **File** field. If you do not see the file, refresh the page.

The **Submission** record enters the Pending stage. The system assigns a **Review Submission** task to the Sender User.


## Review the Submission

1. Go to the **Submission** record.
2. Review the **Details** section and ensure the details are correct.

**Result**

The system assigns a **Submit to Regulatory Authority** task.

## Complete the Submission
