The process generally takes less than 1 minute and you can wait for the process to complete, or you may leave e-GGRT and return at a later time.

On the following page, if your report is successfully generated the status will show as "Ready for Review". If there are any potential errors in the report, messages related to the potential errors will be displayed in the FINAL REVIEW RESULTS section of the page.
You may return to the data reporting screens to make any necessary changes. Please note those changes will not be reflected in the annual report until you return to the Facility or Supplier Overview page and click the GO button in the FINAL REVIEW and REPORT SUBMISSION table. This will regenerate the report with any corrections you have made.
Click the "CONTINUE with SUBMISSION" button to proceed to the remaining steps of report review and certification.
