About depot-to-depot shipments
Depot-to-depot shipments offer full traceability of kits used within a study, so it is important to understand a user's role in the lifecycle of a depot shipment.
Create and activate a depot
A clinical supply manager creates both the source depot and the destination depot in the application. Once created, make sure that a resupply strategy is assigned to the source depot, and that every depot in this supply chain is activated.
Create and manage a min/max resupply strategy
A clinical supply manager creates a min/max resupply strategy for the destination depot. For step-by-step instructions, see Create a min/max resupply strategy.
Create a depot-to-depot shipment
A clinical supply manager or a depot user can create a depot-to-depot shipment. For step-by-step instructions, see Create a manual shipment.
Manage kits for destruction
Besides a manual shipment, a depot user may have to create a shipment for destruction. A shipment for destruction may be required when the study is configured to accept the destruction of kits at a depot facility and a depot in your study is configured as drug destruction capable. A shipment for destruction contains all kits marked as Pending Destruction in the study inventory.
