Function keys
- Item
- Displays the item and item description.
- ePedigree tracking
- This field is only displayed if the ePedigree active field is set to YES in the Pharma control file. It is a mandatory entry. Set this field to YES for the batch- and date controlled item that you want to track for ePedigree compliance.
- Qty per pedigree lbl
- This field is only displayed if the ePedigree active field is set to YES in the Pharma control file. This field must be completed when the ePedigree tracking field is set to YES. Enter the number of labels that will be printed when receiving batches that are defined as pedigrees.
- NDC type
- This field is applicable for both the ARCOS and ePedigree functionality. It is a mandatory entry. Select the applicable pre-loaded NDC (National Drug Code) type. Valid types include NDC442, NDC532, NDC541, and NDC542.
The NDC type dictates the number of digits the NDC item code must contain. When creating data in the ARCOS transactions file for the ARCOS functionality, and when moving data to the pedigree interface files for the ePedigree functionality, the system formats the NDC item code (i.e. it will insert two hyphens) based on the NDC type. For example, NDC type NDC542 would mean that the NDC item code would require 11 digits (5+4+2) and when the system formats the NDC item code, the result will be 11111-1111-11.
- NDC item code
- This field is applicable for both the ARCOS and ePedigree functionality. It is a mandatory entry. Enter the NDC item code with the number of digits that is dictated by the NDC type. When this is entered the system will create a cross reference type for the item. The cross reference type will be set to ND.
