• When the product is populated in the case created through J Literature Intake module, it populates only one record in the Case Form Products tab for each Product in the matching Product Family. If there are multiple Japanese licenses for a product, then the correct license is picked up based on the following logic:

  • License Authorization Country = Japan

  • Withdrawn date is blank or >= current system date

  • "Hide" checkbox is not marked as checked for that product license combination

  • "Not in Tradename lookup/Not Autoscheduled" checkbox is not marked as checked

  • "Exclude from Report Candidates" checkbox is not marked as checked

  • If multiple licenses exist matching this criteria, then Earliest award date license are considered

  • If multiple licenses still exist matching this criteria, then the license with the lowest internal sequence number are considered.

• The following describes the change in logic that is used to populate Japanese licenses on Event Assessment and PMDA tabs. There is no change in logic for other country licenses. Manually Added Products through Bookin or Case Form or Case Intake or Affiliate Event Acceptance:

  • If the user selects a Japanese license during product selection in Bookin / Case Form / Affiliate Event, then only that license is considered for Event Assessment and PMDA tabs irrespective of the value of "Exclude from Report Candidates" checkbox.

  • If the user selects a non-Japanese license during product selection in Bookin / Case Form / Affiliate Event, then only the Japanese licenses for which "Exclude from Report Candidates" checkbox is not marked as checked is considered for populating Japanese licenses in Event Assessment and PMDA tabs.

  • While identifying the product license to be used to populate the Products tab, only those Japanese licenses are used for which "Exclude from Report Candidates" checkbox is not marked as checked.

  • This is applicable to all the E2B factory profile logic - ICH, FDA, EMEA and PMDA.

  • Only the Japanese licenses for which "Exclude from Report Candidates" checkbox is not marked as checked are considered for populating Japanese licenses in Event Assessment and PMDA tabs.
