If you want to use Global Label Management together with SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management, some configurations need to be done in different areas of the system.
The subsequent sections provide you with an overview about these configurations.
Note the following prerequisites:
- Windows Wordcompressor Integration Server (WWI-Server) needs to be set up and connected as described in the SAP Note568302 - Current version of EH&S WWI and EH&S Expert or OCC.
- The Global Label Management basis configuration has been done as described in Global Label Management (EHS-SAF-GLM).
- The master data objects must be created and linked. For example, study specification must have the CFG material assigned, at CFG material label view the CFG, PP, and Shelf Life Extension Generation. Variants must be maintained (note that there is a slight change compared to GLM standard maintenance), all underlying master data must exist, like label stock, layout templates, generation variants.
- Barcode libraries can be connected. Please note that SAP does not deliver any barcode libraries. For demonstration purposes, several barcode types are provided, but they should not be used productively.
SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management Configuration
To integrate Global Label Management with SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management, the following Customizing has to be configured in SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management:
- Specify Printing of Inner- And Outer-Label Barcodes Based on Control Key
- Specify Clinical Trial-Specific Labeling Scenario for GLM
- Specify GLM Label Types for Material Categories
- Specify Barcode Profiles for Material Categories
Note
An example configuration can be found in the Configuration Document for SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management.
Specify Printing of Inner- And Outer-Label Barcodes Based on Control Key
Description
You use this procedure to specify which control keys to use to generate or print an inner-label barcode (material category PP) or an outer-label barcode (material category CFG).
This is necessary because a goods receipt is not possible for double-blinded treatment kits that only have one label or barcode but both require inner- and outer-label barcodes.
In this case, different control keys are used to print or generate outer-label and inner-label barcodes when performing PI sheet-based printing with Global Label Management.
Procedure
- In the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide of Clinical Supply Management, go to Master Data → Global Label Management → Specify Printing of Inner- and Outer-Label Barcodes Based on Control Key.
- Specify the label types for each material category.
Specify Clinical Trial-Specific Labeling Scenario for Global Label Management
Description
You use this procedure to enter the labeling scenario for clinical supply management if your organization uses Global Label Management. If you don't use Global Label Management, don't create an entry.
Procedure
- In the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide of Clinical Supply Management, go to Master Data → → Global Label Management → Specify Clinical Trial-Specific Labeling Scenario for GLM.
- Enter the labeling scenario that you want to use.
Specify Global Label Management Label Types for Material Categories
Description
You use this procedure to specify the label type to be used for each material category (CFG or primary pack material - PP) in Global Label Management. When a print request is created, the material category setting identifies which label type is meant for the PP material and which for the CFG.
Procedure
- In the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide of Clinical Supply Management, go to Master Data → Global Label Management → Specify GLM Label Types for Material Categories.
- Specify the label types for each material category.
Specify Barcode Profiles for Material Categories
Description
You use this procedure to specify the (EAN128) barcode profiles to be used for specific material categories in combination with the following properties:
- Serialized
- Multi-protocol
- Open Label
Procedure
- In the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide of Clinical Supply Management, go to Master Data → Global Label Management → Specify Barcode Profiles for Material Categories.
- Specify the barcode profiles according to your business requirements.
Global Label Management
To integrate Global Label Management with SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management, there are a number of configurations necessary.
The SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management Administration Guide gives a good overview about what has to be done concretely.
