Configuring Reason Code

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure reason code

Introduction

You will learn how to configure reason codes in the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution. This application allows you to set up reason codes based on source and reason type, which are required to document any changes made to existing records in the system.

Reason Code

In the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution, this application can be found under the Configuration tab or use Configure Reason Code in the open search section to access it. This application can configure the business cases when a change reason should be entered along with the list of reason codes for selection. This is required as any changes in the existing record should be rightly documented with a meaningful reason code.

The image shows the home screen of an SAP software application, with several menu options displayed, including Configuration, Master Data, Treatment Management, Labels, Manufacturing, COI/COC, System Admin, and Task. The specific menu option selected is Configure Reason Code.

Configuring Reason Code

The configuration is to setup reason code based on source and reason type from the dropdown list.

For the combination of source and reason type selected, the reason codes can be created with the following:

  • Reason code of 250 characters
  • Description of 250 characters, this description text is available in the Select reason dropdown list
The image shows the Configure Reason Code screen in an SAP software application. It includes a New: Item section with fields for entering a Reason Code and Reason Description. The Create section allows the user to select a Source and Reason Type, with options to continue or cancel the process.

Activation and Deactivation

When a new reason code is added, the status is set to Active by default. At any point in time, the reason code entry can be deactivated by providing the right deactivation Reason and optional comments. In the same way, deactivated entries can be activated by providing the right Activation Reason.

The image shows the Configure Reason Code screen in an SAP software application. It displays a list of Reason Codes, including Biospecimen RV Details and Treatment Order. The Biospecimen RV Details item has a Reason Type of Invalidate and additional details such as the changed date, changed by, and created by information.
