22R1 Maintenance Releases

A maintenance release contains fixes for issues that affect customers in production environments.

Note Beginning with 23R3 content and for all subsequent releases, Vault Release Notes is the official site for Vault Safety release notes.

A maintenance release contains fixes for issues affecting customer Vaults. Maintenance releases can occasionally include enhancements, for example, a time-sensitive regulatory requirement.

We communicate 24 hours prior to a maintenance release when there will be a short service disruption during deployment. The Veeva Trust Site provides the most up to date information on Vault's service status. Check this site to view the current status of Vault PODs and upcoming scheduled system maintenance.

The contents is subject to change until the release occurs. When we identify items for a maintenance release, we attempt to get them into the earliest release possible.

Sometimes, we target a specific release but are not able to deliver an update early enough for full testing. In situations like this, we postpone the update for a later release and strike out the description in this list.

Veeva frequently delivers maintenance releases for the Vault Platform. Vault Safety deploys these Vault Platform maintenance releases at a later date. For details on the Vault Platform fixes in these maintenance releases, see Vault 22R1 Maintenance Releases.

Category Issue Description Issue No.
Intake: E2B Import Fixed an issue where, if an E2B file included Parental Medical History or Parental Drug History details but did not include Parent Case information, the system prevented both importing the file as an Imported Case and promoting the imported Inbox Item to a Case.

Follow-Ups
Fixed an issue with creating Follow-up Cases where, when the original Case included an Assessment record with a value in a custom field, if the custom field did not appear on the Case Compare page, the value was not populated on the related Follow-Up Case Assessment record. SAF-30122
Transmissions: Reporter Email Follow-Ups Fixed an issue where Follow-Up Rule questionnaire emails were not sent for a Case if any related Correspondence record did not include a Correspondence Document. SAF-30769
Aggregate Reporting: DSUR Fixed an issue where, when a Case included an Adverse Event with no value in the Primary field, the Interval Line Listing was not generated, preventing DSUR report creation. SAF-30883

Follow-Ups
Fixed an issue where, if Case Assessments for the non-primary product were deleted from a Case, the system prevented the creation of a Follow-Up Case. SAF-30963
Report Generation:
FDA 3500A
Fixed an issue where the Investigational New Drug (IND) registration number was not populated on FDA MedWatch 3500A files when the Product Registration was not linked to a Study Product.

Report Generation:
FDA 3500A
Fixed an issue with generating FDA MedWatch 3500A files for imported Cases where, if the Name field on the Organization record is changed from "FDA" to "US FDA", "Foreign" is selected in the Report Source field (G.3) on the file even when the Case Primary Reporter Country is set to USA. SAF-29968
Transmissions:
Validation Rules
Fixed an issue with generating EMA E2B(R3) files where the system was missing the following field validations:
  • For submissions to EVCTM, medicinal products classified as suspect or interacting (G.k.1 = 1,3) should have at least one EU Method of Assessment (G.k.9.i.2.r.2.EU.1) for each event or reaction reported in the ICSR.
  • EU Result of Assessment (G.k.9.i.2.r.3.EU.1) is required if the EU Method of Assessment (G.k.9.i.2.r.2.EU.1) value is "1".
