Serial Number Replenish Request SNM_REQUEST Outbound A transaction from the CMO to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturer to request serial numbers for manufactured product.
Serial Number Replenish Response SNM_RESPONSE Inbound A message from the Pharmaceutical Manufacturer to the CMO containing serial numbers generated outside of the TraceLink system.

The Serialized Operations Manager (SOM) message types are organized based on the 3 types of asynchronous messages possible through Serialized Operations Manager:

  • Trading Partner Event Exchange – Messages used by Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, CMOs, and 3PLs to communicate internally about manufacturing and logistics operations.
  • Core Integration – Messages used by any company that also uses TraceLink as their serialization System of Record.
  • ESM Synchronization – Messages used by Pharmaceutical Manufacturers with an external serialization system.

    Pharmaceutical Manufacturers use ESM messages to synchronize the events from an enterprise serialization management System of Record with TraceLink to enable trade partner event exchange (e.g. to CMOs or 3PLs) and compliance reporting to government systems.

The Direction of the message is in relation to the TraceLink Network. Inbound means the message is sent to the TraceLink Network. Outbound means the message is sent from the TraceLink Network. Both means the message is sent to and from the TraceLink Network to complete the message.
