Movilitas.Cloud sends a DSCSA letter by email for replacement orders or limited shipments.


Background information for replacement orders


If a pharmacy in the USA detects an issue with a trade item, the pharmacy can place a replacement order for that trade item. The replacement order (delivery) can be executed in Movilitas.Cloud. The TI/TS information is recorded as a DSCSA EPCIS file, however, instead of sending the DSCSA EPCIS file to an external system, a DSCSA letter is sent to the pharmacy or any other appropriate entity by email. The receiver of the letter can scan the QR code in the DSCSA letter to download the DSCSA EPCIS file on a website.
