New fields for creating a depot

Clinical supply managers now have new fields to fill in when creating a depot in their study.

What are the benefits?

As a clinical supply manager, using these three fields can help you review or add depots in other supply systems that your study is integrated with. For example, you may want to integrate a depot that is associated with a certain manufacturing facility to make sure the appropriate investigational product is always delivered to your sites.

Other times, you may want to create the same depots across multiple studies at your organization. To ensure that you have an easy way to identify these depots and that the relevant supply data matches across systems or studies, you can use these newly introduced fields and always look for the combination of Plant ID, Storage Location, and Shipping Location values.

Details for clinical supply managers

When it comes to your workflow for creating depots, on the Create Depot dialog, the Depot Setup section, you will notice the following new fields:

• Plant ID: The value for this field can be the same for several depots at your organization. This is the ID of the location where the investigational product is manufactured.
• Storage Location: This is the location of the storage where the investigational product is stored until it is shipped to the depot or the site.
• Shipping Location: This is the shipping point from where the investigational product will be shipped as kits. It can be another depot or a site.

Already working in a live study?

As soon as the upgrade for this release is ready, you can create a depot with these new fields defined, in any of the three study modes: Testing, Training, or Production. You can also edit an existing depot and specify data for these new fields.
