In previous post entitled SAP Transactions with Syncade in Life Sciences – Overview the basics behind the SAP to Syncade interface and transaction was provided. This post provides more detail on the general requirements associated with the Quality Status Verification transaction used to confirm material in SAP from Syncade. This is typically at point of use such as in weigh and dispense or consumption operations.
The SAP system is typically the primary owner of quality status of inventory batches although it can also be maintained in Syncade and synchronized with SAP. The QA group generally updates SAP with this information on an as needed basis. Prior to dispensing for weigh and dispense items and prior to consumption for area dispensed items (consumables) the interface will query SAP regarding available inventory. Changes in QC status in Syncade are not updated as they are changed in SAP but rather are updated at the time the material is selected for use. If there is sufficient unblocked inventory in the staging/manufacturing area as defined in SAP, the transaction will be allowed to proceed. In the event that there is insufficient unblocked inventory to complete the Syncade transaction, an error message will be returned to the operator.
When checking status in SAP the following rules may apply depending on the established business logic and the actual requirements:
