Cancel item batch destruction request at depot

Item destruction refers to the process of disposing of or destroying an investigational product or other unused medication when they are no longer needed, damaged, or for another reason.

In IWRS, the depots can destroy items by creating destruction batches—bundles of items that are to be destroyed together—and approving their disposal. For the batches that were created but not yet approved, the destruction request can be canceled, for instance, if some items were added to the batch by mistake.

Another scenario for canceling the destruction request is for the previously approved batch to be revoked and thus, return to the Initial status. For such batches, the request for destruction can be canceled.

To cancel an item batch destruction request at a depot
  1. In the IWRS application header, select the DEPOT tab.

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