When completing the Planning Services Completion Report you shouldn’t download it first. Every time you need to submit a new one, you need to access and then Open the file (don’t save it). Fill out the form and after you attach your customer deliverable, click submit. Then, save the document as an xml file to your computer so that you can upload it to VVR when redeeming the voucher.
If you are already doing this, as a workaround to this problem, can you try this:
Start Planning Services Completion Report
Type File/Open, and paste in this URL: Planning Services Completion Report Workaround
Click OK
Login into Live ID when prompted.
If prompted enter your Live ID credentials again
The form should open

5. Step 1: Open the Planning Services Completion Report
The Planning Services Completion Report is required to be completed and uploaded for all Planning Service vouchers redeemed in VVR regardless of the Program Type (BVPS, DDPS, EDPS, or SDPS) or Service Level (1, 3, 5, 10 days). This deliverable allows Microsoft to monitor the quality of engagements and gather valuable insights for future program enhancements.

*Required deliverables are defined as the output or result of the deployment engagement with the customer (detailed in the Terms and Conditions for your service type). Partners will be required to use a Live ID to open the form.
Important Note: After successful submission, the Planning Services Completion Report will need to be saved locally to be uploaded in the next step.

13. Step 3: Upload Planning Services Completion Report to VVR Tool
Partners must upload the saved Planning Services Completion Report into the VVR Tool. The required customer deliverable(s) for the engagement must be attached within the Planning Services Completion Report (see Part 6) *Microsoft will review these deliverables for proof of a unique engagement per customer and for adherence to the Terms and Conditions. Failure to provide unique deliverables will impact the partner's future participation in the program. The partner redeems the voucher at the end of the engagement by submitting the required deliverables through the VVR Tool, notifying Microsoft that the services associated with that voucher have been delivered to the customer.
