Set inventory check for visit

One of the dispensing visit configurations available in IWRS is setting the inventory checks to ensure that there are enough items in the site inventory to provide all the subjects at certain visits taking into account different patterns of subject randomization followed by the study.

The inventory check setting—as all the other dispensing visit configurations—is version-bound, meaning that once you implement a new setting, it is associated with the specific version and can be applied to the whole study or only certain sites or subjects. This helps maintain change history and satisfies international multisite studies, where different locations and subjects can follow their own dispensation settings.

To set an inventory check for the visit
  1. In the IWRS application header, select the TREATMENT DESIGN tab.

  2. From the left pane, select Visit Dispensing and Window.

  3. On the page that opens, from the version menu, ensure the unlocked version unlocked_icon_purple.png is selected, otherwise, you cannot amend any dispensing visit or window configurations.

    If the current version is locked locked_icon_yellow.png, consider adding a new dispensing visit setting version.
