The scenario Solid Dosage Forms describes all logistic processes necessary within a complete
product life cycle for SAPyrin tablets.
Process Flow
The following processes are provided to support the Solid Dosage Forms scenario:
- Flexible planning / Material requirements planning
- Procurement of batch materials / Procurement of non-batch materials
- Active ingredient production
- Manufacturing of solid dosage forms (tablets)
- SAP OPC Data Access
- Pharmaceutical packaging
- Sales of drugs / Sales of OTC products
- Vendor handling / Customer handling
The following functionalities and processes were implemented respecting also
special GMP requirements.
Key Points
- Integrated sales and production rough planning
- Cost center planning and product costing
- Batch number generation
- Batch determination according to expiration date
- Process order execution and PI sheet dispatch (incl. XML-based PI sheet)
- Digital signature in PI sheet
- Material identification and reconciliation
- Integration of an external weighing system and barcode reader
- Creation of Handling Units
- QM integration covering in-process and post-process control with sample management and inspection plan
- Electronic batch record (EBR)
- Batch Information Cockpit
- Expiry Date Calculation (Batch Derivation)
- Batch where used list
- Foreign Trade
- Creation of a complaint QM notification
- Batch recall
In addition, the browser-based PI-Sheet contains not only useful information on the manufacturing
process (such as dangerous goods symbols, notes on occupational health and safety, material data),
but also a Process Manufacturing Cockpit. The Process Manufacturing Cockpit shows how to implement
- Company logos for personalization
- General documentation
- Internet links
- Video clips in order to present complex processes
- Access to standard transactions
The Process Manufacturing Cockpit can also be used for sending alert messages.
The browser-based PI-Sheet used for the manufacturing of the tablets provides access to measurements
at the process level, e.g. temperature in a vessel. The installation of an OPC (demo) server is
required for this functionality. Depending on the severity of the transferred value, alert messages
(SMS or email) can be sent.
