Siebel Life Sciences Guide > Managing Pharma Samples > About Managing Pharma SamplesMost pharmaceutical manufacturers provide free samples to health care professionals in an effort to influence the prescribing habits of physicians across the United States and the world. In the United States, samples distribution is regulated by the FDA and must be reconciled at least once a year. This chapter describes how to manage and maintain an electronic inventory of samples and promotional items using Siebel Pharma Samples Management. Using the procedures given in this chapter, you will be able to perform the administrator tasks of setting up and maintaining a home-office master inventory (optional) and monitoring samples disbursements, orders, transfers, receipts, discrepancies, adjustments, and inventory counts. End users use the Samples Management screens to track an electronic inventory of samples stock, create samples request order and transfers, acknowledges receipt of samples transfers, and adjust inventory balances for reconciliation purposes. Siebel Samples Management allows sales representatives and administrators to measure and monitor sample disbursements at every level throughout the organization. For more information on the differences between administrator and end-user tasks, see About Scenarios for Managing Samples. |
