Suppression of duplicate reports

You can suppress duplicate expedited reports to be scheduled at the reporting destination level, according to the following criteria:

• The Suppress Duplicate Reports option only applies to drug reports. It does not apply to device reports.
• This option does not reduce the number of reporting rules the system evaluates. However, it does prevent the system from scheduling and generating expedited reports that match the duplication criteria.
• When you select Suppress Duplicate Reports, the system uses the following attributes to determine whether the reports are duplicates of other reports:
  • Report Form
  • Reporting Destination
  • Aware Date
• If two or more duplicate reports have different due dates (regardless of license type), the system schedules the report with the earliest due date.
