Hi Achu3186
There are several ways that you can correct this sentence yourself.
Let me help you so that you can control your own English.

1. Check your use of determiners (a, an, the) in your sentences. In this case, I can see that 3 determiners are missing. From this snippet, it seems the reader knows

which full year summary report you are talking about,
which branch office and
which monthly report

So you need to use the determiner 'the' with these.
2. You also need to look at your use of prepositions particularly when they signal the adverbial element in the sentence. You have 3 adverbial elements - one which answers the question "how long" and 2 which answer the question "why".
How long will the submission be delayed? Answer: for 3 days.
Why will the submission be delayed? as/since/because we will be ....
Why will you be in the branch office? (in order) to process ....
3. look at the phrase "current month report" Do you mean the current monthly report OR the current month's report.
Once you have fixed the sentence, look to see if you can make it more succinct.
I hope this is helpful for this sentence and for you English in general.
Best wishes
