Modify depot return shipment details

A depot is a warehouse where the drug manufacturer supplies items for further distribution between sites. In the course of a clinical trial, the need may arise to return dispensing items from one depot to another. In IWRS, you can return available items to any depot so they can be reused there, or you can send items for destruction to the return depot if they have been, for example, damaged or else.

After the return shipment has been confirmed, indicating that the items have been sent to another depot, some shipping details may be incorrect. When handling depot return shipments, you can update their tracking details if necessary.

To modify the depot return shipment details
  1. In the IWRS application header, select the DEPOT tab.

  2. In the Depot List table that opens, select the needed depot.
