The depot setup process
Before you set up a depot, you should:
- Add countries and regions to the study.
- Know whether the depot is a central or local depot.
- Know whether the depot is a drug destruction facility (DDF).
- Decide on the depot architecture.
During depot setup, you do the following:
- Create a new depot.
For each depot, you identify:
- Important basic properties—These properties include a unique identifier and name, geographic information, and shipment information.
- The countries supplied by the depot—The depot can ship to the countries you select. A country can only be supplied by one depot.
- The local depots supplied by the depot—For a central depot, you must set up local depots that receive drug supplies from this depot. Not all depots are central depots.
- The depot resupply trigger level—The depot inventory trigger sets the inventory level at which you are alerted that a depot needs to be resupplied.
- (optional) Set up the depot as a drug destruction facility (DDF).
A location can be both a depot and a DDF. The DDF location must be set up as a separate depot with a unique depot ID.
After you set up the depots, you can complete the drug release process.
