3 Working with Campaigns

A Campaign describes a series of structured activities and processes required to produce a defined quantity of intermediate or final material and the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) used in a drug product.

There can be many campaigns in a project and you usually associate one campaign to one intermediate/API. You can also have one campaign associated with multiple intermediates/API.

You can have one or more campaigns associated with a product, while associating a campaign with a target material. Campaigns consist of many process steps and each process step in a campaign, tracks the making of several lots of materials within it. Process Step or a Recipe need not always make materials; it can represent other activities in the campaign such as cleaning, or equipment setup/dismantling.

While creating campaigns, you need to associate it to a Product and a Project. The Project must be in the In Development status and ensure that the Project-Product is in Active status.
