Review shipment notices

Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Repackagers, and Wholesale Distributors can send shipment notices to Product Information Manager so that:

Indirect trade partners (e.g. Dispensers) can access these shipment notices without linking to the sender's US Compliance network.
Direct trade partners who are not linked to the Owner's US Compliance network (e.g. doctor’s offices) can also access shipment notices.

Product Information Manager contains only shipment notices:

Designated as drop shipments by the sender in Serialized Operations Manager.
Sent to direct Partners who are not linked to the Owner's US Compliance network.

Tips

If no errors or results display after selecting Search, the number of search results being returned for the selected date range is too large. Reduce the number of days included in the date range for the results to display.
