Registering Master Data for a Product
Perform the following actions when you want to register the master data of a product.
Before You Begin
Make sure that you have created the market profiles (target markets) under the Settings tab.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Manufacturing application, select Products --> Products tab.
The application displays the list of products and the Create product form. You can create a product or find and select an existing product for editing. Depending on your action, the application displays Create product or Update product form, respectively.
Note: When viewing the details of a product, you can open the Create product form by clicking Create.
The following example illustrates the opening page:
2. On the Master data tab of the form, fill in the fields as described below.
An asterisk (*) next to a field in the form indicates the field is required. However, the selected target market also drives which fields are required through the system response and an asterisk (*) is not displayed in all cases.
Field | Market | Action |
---|---|---|
Product version number | All (Primarily EU) | Specify the product version number. You can track each change in the product master data with a new version number, and the history is stored in the background. By default, the application offers "1" as the product version number. The field is read-only until the market is selected in the Target market field. The product version number is important primarily for the EU market. The following description applies to the EU market: Creating product master data When creating product master data, make sure that you are using a product version number that is not occupied yet in the EU Hub and other systems. Once EU is selected in the Target market field, you can modify the version number to avoid overwriting a version that was previously uploaded to the EU Hub from a third-party system. If the version number is already in use and you do not change it, that version will be overwritten in the EU Hub and it might cause discrepancies across multiple systems. If you are unsure about the product version number to use, create the product, retrieve the product master data stored in the EU Hub (if any) and change the product version number later. For more information on retrieving the product master data, see Retrieving Product Master Data Stored in the EU Hub (EU Market Only). Updating product master data When updating product master data that has not been uploaded to the EU Hub yet, you can change the product version number by using the Edit product version number button. When updating product master data that was previously uploaded to the EU Hub:
For more information about the logic, see Uploading Master Data to the EU Hub (EU Market Only). If you are unsure about the product version number to use, retrieve the product master data stored in the EU Hub (if any) and change the product version number accordingly.

Back to the list of procedures
Configuring Serial Management
To generate serial numbers in Movilitas.Cloud or request serial numbers from external systems through Movilitas.Cloud, you need to configure the serial management for a registered product.
After the serial number source (channel) is configured, it is possible to manually generate or request serial numbers, but you can also activate automatic replenishment to execute this action automatically. In all cases, the pool is filled with the new serial numbers.
When connecting to the Order Management Station (OMS) for the KAZ or UZB market, you can request crypto codes for the serial numbers available in the pool.
Note: If you use your own serial number management solution with ready-to-use, unique, and GS1-compliant serial numbers, skip the Serial management tab. In this use case, you update Movilitas.Cloud with the external serialization activities over API.
Procedure
1. On the Create product or Update product form, select the Serial management tab and perform the actions described below.
The following example illustrates the case when we are configuring the serial management from scratch for a product in the EU market:
The following example illustrates the case when we are configuring the serial management from scratch for a product in the KAZ market or the UZB market with a connection to OMS:
Field | Action |
---|---|
Crypto code source | Select a crypto code source from the list. The application offers the previously configured Order Management Station (OMS) regulatory channels for selection:
Note: Only applicable to the case when connecting to OMS for the KAZ or UZB market . |
Serial number source | Select a serial number source from the ones that you created earlier. You can select from the following sources (channels):
|
Marketing Authorization Holder | When a TraceLink channel is used for serials, select the MAH that receives the serial request. The application offers only the previously registered MAHs for selection. Note: Only applicable to TraceLink channel. Make sure that you have registered the required MAH under the Site management --> MAHs tab in advance. |
Site | When a TraceLink channel is used for serials, select the site that sends the serial request to the MAH. This is the location where the product is produced. The application offers only the previously registered sites for selection. Note: Only applicable to TraceLink channel. Make sure that you have registered the required site under the Site management --> Sites tab in advance. |
Automatic replenish | Select the Automatic replenish checkbox to automatically fill the pool with serials. You can extend its functionality by specifying the Filling amount and Threshold fields.
|
Filling amount | The Filling amount field represents the maximum number of serials that can be added to the pool in one step. The total amount to be filled is reached in multiple steps. When set to 0, the required amount of serials is added to the pool in one single step (unlimited amount). This field is effective with automatic replenishment and without automatic replenishment also. If the serials are requested from SAP ATTP, the filling amount applies unless the value exceeds the maximum serials per one request setting on the SAP ATTP channel. The setting on the SAP ATTP channel is an upper limit. |
Threshold | The Threshold field specifies how many extra serial numbers you want to make available in the system while using automatic replenishment. When set to 0, there will be no extra serial number in the pool. This field is effective with automatic replenishment. If the number of serials available in the pool is less than the threshold, new ones are generated or fetched from the source automatically in the amount specified in the Filling amount field, until the threshold is reached in one or more steps. For example:
Note: Setting both fields to 0 is equivalent to leaving these fields blank. If this is the case, the pool is filled up in one single step only to the amount that fulfills the specific request. |
The following example illustrates a serial configuration with the TraceLink source:
- Site "Plant 2" requests serials from MAH "Movilitas Pharma" over TraceLink.
- Automatic replenishment is active.
- Filling amount and threshold values are 0, meaning that the pool is filled up in one single step only to the amount that fulfills the specific request.
The following example illustrates a serial configuration with the SNM source:
- Automatic replenishment is active.
- As the threshold is set to 30, there will always be 30 serials available in the pool.
- The pool is filled up with a maximum of 10 serials in each step until the threshold is reached.
The following example illustrates a serial configuration with the crypto code source for the KAZ market:
- An OMS Cloud channel is selected as the crypto code source.
- An SNM channel is selected as the serial number source.
- Automatic replenishment is not activated.
2. Click Save or, for the EU market, continue with the EU countries tab.
After clicking Save:
- If the SNM source is configured, the application displays the Generate serials panel under the Update product form to manually generate a certain amount of serials in Movilitas.Cloud.
- If the SAP ICH, TraceLink, or Novumgen source is configured, the application displays the Request serials panel under the Update product form to manually request a certain amount of serials from SAP ICH, TraceLink, or Novumgen, respectively.
- (KAZ/UZB markets only) If a crypto code source is configured (OMS Cloud or Code OMS channel), the application displays the Request crypto codes panel under the Generate serials or Request serials panel to manually request crypto codes for the serial numbers.
- The panel displays the available serial numbers with and without a crypto code.
- The maximum number of crypto codes that you can request is the amount of available serial numbers without a crypto code. If you need more crypto codes, you need to fill the pool with serial numbers first.
- You need to select the packaging line for the request. As a prerequisite, you need to configure a packaging line under the Packaging --> Packaging lines tab.
Next Steps
Generate or request serials manually. For more information, see Generating or Requesting Serials Manually.
(KAZ/UZB markets only) Request crypto codes for the serial numbers from OMS. For more information, see Requesting Crypto Codes for the Serial Numbers from OMS (KAZ/UZB Markets Only).

You can change the product version number at any time. It is your responsibility to ensure that the provided product version number does not conflict with a version in any other system. | |
1 | Yes | Yes | Product master data was uploaded to the EU Hub once, and only from Movilitas.Cloud. This setup implies that a third-party system was not used for uploading product master data before. You can modify the product version number in one of the following ways:
Example for the second point: | |
>1 | Yes | Yes | Product master data was uploaded to the EU Hub the number of times as displayed in the Product version number field. At least, the last upload (version 3 in the example) was performed from Movilitas.Cloud, but earlier uploads could be uploaded from a third-party system. You can modify the product version number in one of the following ways:
|
3. Provide the product master data and the settings of the EU countries (country, MAH, and optionally contracted wholesalers).
Note: The upload is only possible when all the required master data are provided. In this case, the Upload Master Data button is displayed in the top-right corner.
4. On the Update product form, click Upload Master Data.
The following example illustrates the case when the product master data will be uploaded to the EU Hub for the first time:
After clicking on the button, the product master data is uploaded to the EU Hub. The Upload Master Data button disappears, and the Update product version number button is displayed next to the actual product version number and the Edit product version number button.
If the Manufacturer for Pharma application is activated for your tenant, the product is also created in that application after uploading the master data to the EU Hub. The product in the Manufacturer for Pharma application will take the values and settings given in the Serialized Manufacturing application except for the fields that cannot be mapped between the two applications.

Generating or Requesting Serials Manually
After the serial number source is configured, it is possible to manually generate or request serial numbers on demand. The action is independent of the automatic replenishment setting, meaning that you can generate or request serial numbers manually at any time. The pool is filled with the new serial numbers.
Note: If you use your own serial number management solution with ready-to-use, unique, and GS1-compliant serial numbers, skip the Serial management tab. In this use case, you just update Movilitas.Cloud about external serialization activities over API.
Before You Begin
Make sure that the serial number source is configured.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Manufacturing application, select Products --> Products tab. The application displays the list of products.
2. Find and select a product for editing.
3. On the Update product form, select the Serial management tab.
- If the SNM source is configured, the application displays the Generate serials panel under the Update product form to manually generate a certain amount of serials in Movilitas.Cloud.
- If the SAP ATTP, SAP ICH, TraceLink, or Novumgen source is configured, the application displays the Request serials panel under the Update product form to manually request a certain amount of serials from SAP ATTP, SAP ICH, TraceLink, or Novumgen, respectively.
4. Fill the pool with serials by using the configured source.
- Enter the required number of serials in the Amount field on the Generate serials panel or the Request serials panel, depending on the serial number source.
- Click Generate or Request, respectively.
The serial number pool will be filled with the new serial numbers in the specified amount. For more information, check the SN/SSCC pool --> Serial number pool tab.
When requesting serial numbers from an external system, you can also check the status of the request on the respective channel, SAP ATTP, SAP ICH or TraceLink Partner.
In the following example, we are generating 100 serial numbers by using the SNM source:
In the following example, we are requesting 100 serial numbers from an SAP ICH source:

Requesting Crypto Codes for the Serial Numbers from OMS (KAZ/UZB Markets Only)
For the serialization activities in the KAZ and UZB markets, each serial number must have a unique crypto code. You can request crypto codes from the OMS regulatory system up to the amount of available serial numbers in the pool without a crypto code. Movilitas.Cloud automatically links each received crypto code to a serial number in the pool.
Before You Begin
Make sure that the crypto code source and the serial number source are configured.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Manufacturing application, select Products --> Products tab. The application displays the list of products.
2. Find and select a product for editing.
3. On the Update product form, select the Serial management tab. The application displays the Request crypto codes panel under the Generate serials or Request serials panel to manually request crypto codes for the serial numbers.
The panel displays the available serial numbers with and without a crypto code.
- The maximum number of crypto codes that you can request is the amount of available serial numbers without a crypto code.
- If you need more crypto codes, you need to fill the pool with serial numbers first.
- You also need to specify the packaging line for the request.
Example:
4. Request crypto codes for the serial numbers that do not have a crypto code. One serial number can have one unique crypto code.
- To see the latest amount of available serial numbers with and without a crypto code, click on the Refresh button in the top-right corner of the panel.
- Enter the number of crypto codes you need in the Amount field. The entered amount cannot be greater than the number of available serials without a crypto code.
- Select the packaging line from the drop-down list. The application offers the packaging lines previously configured under the Packaging --> Packaging lines tab.
- Click Request Crypto Codes. The application requests crypto codes from the OMS regulatory system. Once the OMS regulatory system sends the crypto codes, Movilitas.Cloud links each of them to a serial number in the pool.
Movilitas.Cloud sends a series of messages to the OMS regulatory system to get the crypto codes. The messages are logged on the OMS Cloud channel (KAZ) and the Code OMS channel (UZB).
In the following example, we are requesting the maximum amount of crypto codes (55), as 55 serial numbers are available without a crypto code:
