Delaying your Product Origin Request is an option we give in the interface, where you can add a reason, comment and date. This will result in a response with the status Delayed, visible to your customer. By using this option you are committing to providing DDS information or out of scope answers by the date you select.
Take in mind that this is not a legally-finalised answer, but instead just communicates to your customer base that you are working on, or in process of, completing your request.
We give you four different options to submit a Data Delayed answer.
On all of the options you are required to provide a date of submission (must be in the future) as well as provide additional details in the form of a comment.
