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. The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) in the form.

Field	Market	Action
Product version number	EU	Verify the product version number. The available functions depend on whether you create a product or you update a product in the application. Note: This parameter is applicable to the EU market only. For other markets, ignore the parameter because you cannot manipulate it. 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. The application offers "1" as the product version number. The field is read-only until EU is selected in the Target market field. 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. IMPORTANT: You can change the product version number before saving. After clicking Save, it is not possible to overwrite the initially given product version number. Updating product master data When updating product master data that has not been uploaded to the EU Hub yet, you cannot change the product version number. When updating product master data that was previously uploaded to the EU Hub, you can increase the product version number by one and prepare a new upload to the EU Hub. For more information about the logic, see Uploading Master Data to the EU Hub (EU Market Only).

Back to the list of procedures

Configuring Serial Management

To generate serial numbers in Movilitas.Cloud or to 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 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.

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.

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:

Field	Action
Serial number source	Select a serial number source from the ones that you created earlier. You can select from the following sources: Serial Number Management (SNM) SAP Information Collaboration Hub for Life Sciences (SAP ICH) SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals (SAP ATTP) TraceLink
Marketing Authorization Holder	When 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 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. Whenever there is a request for serials in the system and there are not enough serials left to fulfill that request, new ones are generated or fetched from the source automatically. You can extend its functionality by specifying the Filling amount and Threshold fields. When the Filling amount field is set, you control the maximum number of serials that can be added to the pool at once. When the Threshold field is set, Movilitas.Cloud periodically checks if the number of serials available in the pool is below the threshold. If this is the case, the pool is automatically filled with new serials up to the threshold.
Filling amount	Set Filling amount and Threshold fields together and apply them with automatic replenishment. The Filling amount field represents the maximum number of serials that can be added to the pool in one step. The total filling can be facilitated in multiple steps. When set to 0, the required amount of serials is added to the pool at once (in one single step). The Threshold field specifies how many extra serial numbers you want to make available in the system. When set to 0, there will be no extra serial number in the pool. 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: You set 100 for the Filling amount. This is the maximum number of serials that can be added to the pool at one step. You set 1000 for the Threshold. If the number of available serials goes below 1000, for example, to 800, then the system will fill the pool with new serials until we reach 1000 again in two steps. In each step, we add 100 serials to the pool. If the number of available serials goes below 1000, for example, to 720, then the system will fill the pool with new serials until we reach 1000 again in three steps: In the first step, 100 serials are added. We reached 820. In the second step, 100 serials are added. We reached 920. In the last step, only 80 serials are added. We reached 1000 again. 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.
Threshold

The following example illustrates a serial configuration with 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 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.

2. Click Save or, for the EU market, continue with the EU countries tab.

After clicking Save:

If 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 SAP ICH or TraceLink 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 or TraceLink, respectively.

3. 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 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 external source (SAP ICH or TraceLink):

Configuring EU Countries (EU Market Only)

As the MAH, you can provide country-specific master data of the product.

Procedure

1. On the Create product or Update product form, select the EU countries tab and perform the actions described below. The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) in the form.

The following example illustrates the case when we are configuring the EU countries setting from scratch:

Field	Action
Select country	Select a country from the list. Note: The list contains two emulated countries, XA and XB, reserved for emulators only. Emulated markets are only available in Integrated Test Environment (ITE) and Integrated Quality Environment (IQE), but not in production.
Select MAH	Select the MAH. The application offers the MAHs registered on the EU Hub channel.
Third Party Logistics	Optionally, select one or more contracted wholesalers (3PLs) of the product in the country. The application offers the 3PLs that are registered in the Serialized Manufacturing application under the Site management --> 3PLs tab.
National code	If NMVO requires the national code, provide the national code. Otherwise, providing the national code is optional and the MAH can decide to add it (if exists).
Article 57 code/PCID	Optionally, provide the Article 57 code or the Packaged Medicinal Product Identifier (PCID). The following information is reused from EMVS Master Data Guide v5.0 published by the EMVO and helps your understanding of what data you need to provide here: Article 57 code is a code assigned by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) after successfully transmitting the master product data to the Extended Medicinal Product Dictionary (XEVMPD). PCID is an ISO IDMP/SPOR (International Organization for Standardization Identification of Medicinal Products / Substances, Products, Organisations, and Referentials) identifier if already existing. If multiple codes exist for the market, only provide the one that matches the supplied Product name and Common Name. For Switzerland and Parallel Distribution products, leave the field empty. For more information, see EMVS Master Data Guide published by the EMVO.

Back to the list of procedures

Uploading Master Data to the EU Hub (EU Market Only)

To upload master data to the EU Hub, you have to provide all the required product master data and the settings of the EU countries.

As an additional function, if the Manufacturer for Pharma application is activated for your tenant, the product is created in that application after uploading the master data to the EU Hub.

Procedure

1. In the Serialized Manufacturing application, select Products --> Products tab. The application displays the list of products.

2. Find and select the product you want to register in the EU Hub. The application displays the product master data including the current product version number.

Product Version Number	Update Product Version Number Button Visible?	Product version number in the UI (Example)	Description
1 OR >1	No	Example 1: Example 2:	This is the first time the product master data will be uploaded to the EU Hub from Movilitas.Cloud. If the version number is 1, the product master data has never been uploaded to the EU Hub. Neither from Movilitas.Cloud, nor from a third-party system. If the version number is greater than 1, it means the product master data was uploaded to the EU Hub from third-party systems earlier (outside Movilitas.Cloud). In example 2, the first two uploads were performed from third-party systems, and version 3 is the first version to be uploaded from Movilitas.Cloud. You can control the product version number when creating the product master data. Once the product master data is created, you cannot overwrite the initially given version number. This is your responsibility to add the right product version number during product creation.
1	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 create a new version and modify the product master data by clicking on the Update product version number button. The version number will be increased by one.
>1	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 create a new version and modify the product master data by clicking on the Update product version number button. The version number will be increased by one.

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 again next to the actual product version number.

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.
