Manage depot information
A depot is a warehouse to which the drug manufacturer supplies drugs (items) to further distribute them between sites. The depots are created and configured via the CTMS app, whereas in IWRS, you can only view the depot information, such as contact details, level, and if it is a return depot (a recipient of items that sites need to return for some reason).
The only action available to you on the Depot Information page is to mark the depot as a return. All the other fields are read-only.
-
In the IWRS application header, select the DEPOT tab.
-
On the Depot List page that opens, in the table, go to the depot for which you need to view the details and select it.
