With this app, users can create medication lists per study and upload files containing medication number sets to a list. File contents are automatically validated before the files are uploaded.
SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management uses randomized medication numbers for serialization. A medication list is a group of such randomized medication numbers that are assigned to a kit type in a particular study. Medication lists can be either manually uploaded as a file or generated automatically using SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals (SAP ATTP) through the Manage Medication Lists application. The system then runs checks to ensure correct assignment and uniqueness in a study, opening the door for these medication numbers to be used in the production process.
The status of the medication number can be easily viewed from within the app where it displays important information like the kit type, sequence number, current stage of manufacturing, and associated Purchase or Process Order.

By offering this functionality, users can stay updated on significant changes and swiftly address issues that may impact the regulatory compliance of their clinical trial materials.
Additionally, users can view only the regulatory alerts related to the studies they are responsible for. This feature ensures a focused and tailored view of alerts, enabling users to concentrate on the most relevant information without the distraction of unrelated data. By narrowing down alerts to those that pertain to their specific responsibilities, users can more effectively manage and respond to pertinent changes.
The application provides an at-a-glance overview of the country involved and the extent of the reduction when an approved shelf life has been decreased in months. This quick access to critical information allows users to promptly understand the impact of regulatory changes on a country-by-country basis, facilitating immediate and informed decision-making.
Users can also see at a glance how the total shelf life of a material has changed, including the duration in months. This information is crucial for tracking the longevity and usability of clinical trial materials, ensuring that users can monitor and react to any significant shifts in shelf life data.
Furthermore, the application enables users to view a list of all Protocol Change Notices (PCNs) impacted by a regulatory data change. This comprehensive view helps users understand the broader effects of a regulatory update, ensuring that all affected PCNs are identified and managed appropriately.
The application allows users to navigate from an alert in the list report to the relevant shelf life data set or material master. This seamless navigation capability ensures that users can directly access detailed information about the changes triggering the alert, enabling a thorough review and analysis of the data involved.
Moreover, users can navigate from alert details to a related PCN, Commodity Flow Group (CFG) batch, or CFG. This interconnected navigation ensures that users can quickly find and manage related elements of the clinical trial, facilitating a cohesive and streamlined approach to regulatory compliance management.
Users also have the ability to acknowledge a single alert or select multiple alerts to remove them from the list. This functionality allows users to manage their alert list efficiently, marking alerts as reviewed and addressing issues as they arise. Acknowledging alerts helps maintain an organized workflow and ensures that only outstanding actions require attention.
In summary, this application provides users with extensive tools to manage regulatory alerts related to shelf life data. Users can view and filter alerts based on changes received via RIMS or manual adjustments, view alerts specific to their studies, and see critical information about shelf life reductions and changes. Additionally, users can access related PCNs, navigate to detailed data sets, and acknowledge alerts to maintain an organized and responsive regulatory management process. These functionalities collectively enhance users' ability to maintain compliance, efficiently manage changes, and ensure the integrity of clinical trial materials.
