About Localized Cases
Localized Cases are automatically generated based on local submission requirements.
When a Submission or Distribution is created for a Destination Organization with the Localization field set to a non-global value, the system generates a Localized Case for the appropriate locale.
When the Auto-select Inbox Item Localization by Reporter Country feature is enabled, for primary Reporter-type Contacts, if the Reporter Country has a Localization record, the Localization field on the Inbox Item is automatically populated. When the Inbox Item is promoted to a Case, it is processed as a Domestic Case and a Localized Case is generated. For more information, see Prepare a Domestic Case.
Note Contact Veeva Support to consider the Inbox Item Report Type, along with the Reporter Country, to set the Localization field on the Inbox Item. See this note for more information.
As part of the process for generating a Localized Case, the system also generates localized versions of several Case child objects. Localized Case is the root of all localized records, additional Localized Case child records are generated and linked.
Important Terms
- Global
- Global refers to the main operating language of an international company. English is the only language considered global.
- Locale
- The locale is determined by the country and language of regional agencies that require submissions. For example, Portuguese (Brazil).
- Localized Case
- A Vault object used to prepare case translations for regional submissions and distributions.
Prerequisites
- In Vaults originally deployed in 21R2 or earlier, your Admin must enable localized submissions and translation support.
- The following items should be set up by your Admin:
- The appropriate Product and Study Registrations.
- A Transmission Profile for a Destination Organization with a non-Global Localization setting.
- To automatically generate Localized Cases, set up Reporting Rules.
Note Manually setting a Transmission's Destination to an Organization with a non-Global Localization setting also results in a Localized Case being generated.
- Configuration for PMDA Local Case Processing Automations.
Auto-Translation Framework
In addition to Vault Safety language support, you can configure your Vault to connect to Amazon Translate for translation of Case text fields. Depending on your business process, you can set up automatic or manual translation requests. For more information about the required setup, see Enable the Auto-Translation Framework for Localized Case Auto-Translation for Submissions.
Note When using the Auto-Translation Framework, Vault Safety simply imports the translated text as received. The system does not perform any quality checks on the content.
How Localized Cases are Generated
When a Transmission (Submission or Distribution) is created, the localization settings on the Destination Organization determine whether a Localized Case is generated and for which locale.
Localization requirements are configured using the Localization field on Organization records in the Business Admin library. When a Transmission specifies a Destination for which the Organization’s Localization field is populated, a Localized Case is generated.
Note In the standard Vault Safety template configuration, the PMDA (Japan) and MFDS (Korea) Organization records have the Localization field populated with their respective locales.
For example, consider the following process illustration where a Case matched Global Transmission Profiles for the FDA and EMA, and also matched a PMDA (Japan) Transmission Profile:
If there are two transmissions with the same target language, they will reference the same Localized Case. The system does not generate duplicate Localized Cases with the same language.
The system checks for localization requirements for both manually and automatically generated Transmissions. To be automatically generated, the Case must trigger pre-configured reporting rules for a reporting destination.
Note We recommend that Localized Cases are not translated until the initial Case is in the Approved state to ensure that the data is finalized before translation.
How to Generate a Localized Case
The system generates Localized Cases automatically when a Transmission is generated for a global Case with a non-Global Localization setting.
- Generate a Transmission using one of the following methods:
- Automatically: Move the Case into the Approved state or run the Evaluate Reporting Obligations action on the Case.
- Manually: Add a Submission or Distribution.
- Verify the Transmission meets the following criteria:
- Destination: Specifies a destination Organization with the Localization field set to any value other than Global.
- Transmission Document Type: Set to one of the following:
- ICH E2B R2
- ICH E2B R3
- Origin and Destination: Match the Transmission Profile.
Result
The system automatically generates Localized Cases for the target languages required for submissions.
Note Contact Veeva Support to enable deleting the localized children and grandchildren records when you delete the Global Case children. This feature includes for Domestic and Foreign Localized Cases. An administrator must then configure the Safety General Settings. In 22R3 (December 2022), this enhancement will only require configuration enablement.
Re-Evaluate Reporting Obligations for Localized Transmissions
The Re-evaluate Reporting Obligations action is used to review the reporting requirements to the local Case’s agency and re-calculate the due date once local Case processing has been completed.
This action is available from the 
menu on a Localized Case.
When you use this action, Vault searches for a matching reporting rule. Vault then regenerates and validates a submission with the following conditions:
If Vault finds a matching reporting rule:
- Vault creates a new Transmission if no localized Case exists in an In Progress state. OR
- If there are localized Cases in an In Progress state, the Transmission field values of the Case(s) are updated with the parameters of the matched reporting rule.
If Vault does not find a matching reporting rule, Vault gathers all existing In Progress transmission records related to the Localized Case(s) and moves them to the Withdrawn state.
An In Progress transmission refers to any transmission that is in one of the following states:
- Active
- Error
- Pending
- Ready for Submission
- Ready
- Validation Error
Translating Case Data
The system snapshots fields and child records from the global Case into the Localized Case as a starting point for conducting translations.
Note that, in the standard configuration for this feature, you cannot add child objects to a Localized Case that are not already on the global Case, such as Case Products. The only exception to this is Case Comments and Case Product Registrations.
You can then use the Localized Case to translate text fields, translate the narrative, and enter region-specific information.
Non-text fields such as Units of Measurements, picklists, and Controlled Vocabularies are automatically translated for standard supported languages.
Changes made to the Localized Case will not impact the global Case or narrative.
Note Fields with data that is transmitted through code in E2B, including MedDRA, are not translated.
Narrative Translation
For every Localized Case record that is generated, the system generates a corresponding narrative document to be used for the narrative translation.
The system populates the Localized Case narrative document with the English narrative at the point in time when the Localized Case was generated.
For more information on narratives, see Compose a Case Narrative.
Supported Languages and Locales
Vault Safety supports a number of languages by default. See Vault Platform help for the list of standard supported languages.
Locale is determined using a combination of language and country. English is the only language considered global. All other languages generate Localized Case records.
Vault Safety supports generating Localized Cases for many standard languages. If you require additional languages for translations, your administrator can update your Vault configuration to support additional locales.
Send Translation Requests Through the Auto-Translation Framework
If your organization has set up the Auto-Translation Framework, you can send Localized Case text fields to Amazon Translate for translation.
Note Narratives and documents are not currently supported through the Auto-Translation Framework.
The Auto-Translation Framework can be set up as follows:
- Automated Translation Requests: Translation requests are sent automatically when Localized Cases are generated.
- Manual Translation Requests: Translation requests are sent manually after Localized Case creation. Select the All Actions (
) menu, and then select Translate Localized Case.
For both automated and manual translation requests, after Vault Safety sends the translation request, the Localized Case enters the Translation Requested state.
When third-party translations are generated and returned to Vault Safety, they are automatically applied to the Localized Case. The system does not verify the quality of the translation, but simply imports it. The Localized Case enters the Translation Verification state.
Considerations for Translation Requests
- Localized Cases in the Translation Requested state are editable. If text fields are edited in this state, the updated values are overridden when translations are returned to Vault Safety.
- If the length of the translated text exceeds the character limit of any text field, the text is truncated to that field's maximum length. The system displays a notification message indicating which fields have been truncated.
- The translation must be returned within 60 minutes or the task will expire. The system displays a notification message for failed translation requests.
Cancel a Translation Request
When a Localized Case is in the Translation Requested state, you can cancel the request.
Select the All Actions () menu, and then select Cancel Translation Request.
Your Localized Case returns to the Active state and no translations will be applied. If needed, you can send another translation request.
Generate Localized Case Transmission Documents
Once translations have been entered into a Localized Case, go to the Transmission and use the Generate Transmission Document(s) action.
For more information, see Manually Generate a Submittable Report.
Manage Follow-Up Localized Cases
When a Follow-Up Case is created with the Localization field set to a non-global value, a Localized Follow-Up Case is generated automatically. All of the related Localized Case records and localized field data are copied to the Follow-Up Localized Case. If the Follow-Up Case is created from an Inbox Item, new data from the Inbox Item is merged into the Localized Follow-Up Case.
Because Localized Follow-Up Cases are automatically generated when the global Follow-Up Case is created, the system does not allow edits to Follow-Up Localized Cases until the associated global Follow-Up Case has a Transmission record. This prevents starting translations before all the information from the global Case has been entered.
Foreign Localized Case Syncing
When a global Follow-Up Case is automatically or manually transmitted, the system performs a one-time data sync from the global Case to the Localized Case, as follows:
- New and edited records from the global Follow-Up Case are copied to the Localized Case
- Deleted records and fields on the global Follow-Up Case are deleted from the Localized Follow-Up Case
- Populated text fields on the Localized Case are copied to the Localized Follow-Up Case. If the Localized Case contains blank text fields, these fields are copied from the global Follow-Up Case to the Localized Follow-Up Case.
Note If a Localized Follow-Up Case exists and has a Transmission record, data will not be synced.
If your Vault is configured to generate Localized Case Assessments for Case Product Registrations, run the Retrieve Reportable Case Product Registrations action to update Case Product Registrations and Localized Case Assessments. For new Case Products, Case Product Registration records are populated. Existing Case Product Registrations are not changed or deleted.
Translation Workflow
Refer to your organization’s standard operating procedures for details on your organization’s translation workflow.

Use the Create button to add individual Case Product Registrations with Japan region-specific product registration details.
On Localized Cases for Japan, reportable Case Product Registrations can be added all at once through the Retrieve Reportable Case Product Registrations action, if configured. To use this action, go to the All Actions () menu, and then select Retrieve Reportable Case Product Registrations.
About Retrieve Reportable Case Product Registrations
When you retrieve reportable Case Product Registrations, the system evaluates all general and cross reporting obligations to populate Case Product Registration records in the following instances:
- The Japanese Registration Category is Investigational
- The Japanese Registration Category is Marketing and the following details from the Localized Case Product match a Case Product Registration:
- Dose Form, Strength Number, and Strength Unit
- If the above don't all match, the system matches on Dose Form alone
- The Japan Product Registration is set up as the default registration.
Note If there are multiple matches, the system selects the Japanese Product Registration with a matching Dose Form and the earliest created date.
- Dose Form, Strength Number, and Strength Unit
- A Product reportable to the PMDA includes the same Substance as a Suspect or Interacting Case Product on the Localized Case.
During Case Product Registration record creation, the following details are populated on the Case from the PMDA Product Registration:
- Clinical Compound Number
- Dose Form
- Local Product Code
- OTC Drug Classification
- Registration Country
- Registration Holder
- Registration Number
- Registration Type
Note The Registration Holder value is snapshot from the Organization name. We recommend limiting this value to a maximum of 60 characters to respect the G.k.3.3 Name of Holder / Applicant data element specification on PMDA E2B(R3) reports. If this value is longer than 60 characters, Vault Safety truncates it on the Case Product Registration record.
For new Case Product and Case Product Registration pairs, the system also generates Localized Case Assessment records and evaluates adverse event Expectedness using the Datasheet for the selected Product Registration. For more information, see Assessment Section.
Existing Case Product Registration records are considered not reportable and removed from the Localized Case in the following instances:
- The Drug Role of the associated Case Product is no longer Suspect or Interacting.
- The associated Case Product or Study Product was deleted from the Localized Case.
Case Product Registration and Assessment records are not generated for Device or OTC-Device Case Products or Combination Product Constituents.

Localized Assessments for Case Product Registrations
Depending on your Admin’s configuration for the Localization on the Case, Vault Safety supports the automatic generation of Localized Case Assessment records for each Case Product Registration. To use this option for a particular Localization, your Admin must turn on the Localized Assessments for Case Product Registrations option for the related Localization record.
When turned on, for Suspect and Interacting Case Products, for each Case Product Registration the system generates Localized Case Assessment records and calculates Expectedness. For example, if the Localization record for Japanese (Japan) is set to generate Localized Assessments for Case Product Registrations, Localized Case Assessments are automatically generated by the system for each Case Product Registration.
With this feature, Localized Case Assessments are also generated when Adverse Events are added to Cases. When existing Adverse Events are recoded to a different MedDRA LLT, Localized Case Assessments are updated and Expectedness is reevaluated.
