Using these services, applications can be developed/adapted to integrate blockchain capabilities without using blockchain technology
specific coding and thus isolate the business application from a specific blockchain technology.

14. SAP Blockchain Provenance Services Library
A Java based implementation to abstract provenance, track and trace and related features for a
Blockchain based Supply Chain solution.
Customer Requirements
• In order to make supply chain solutions blockchain enabled certain features are considered
essential, e.g. read and write relevant data in a performant way, track and trace your
consignment, ability to perform upstream and downstream requests are few of them
• Desirability of pre-packaged content to accelerate development time and abstract
blockchain technology related complexities from developer
Business Benefits
• Abstract blockchain technology related complexities from developer, which can spend more
time on improving business logic than on blockchain technologies
• Provide related features for Supply Chain Provenance, Track and Trace
Scope
• Easy access of the blockchain network to be used in a specific solution
• Record supply chain events into blockchain
• Retrieve supply chain events from blockchain
• Read upstream & downstream of your supply chain

22. Summary - SAP Logistics Business Network for farm to
consumer
End-to-end blockchain-based material traceability
solution for the food industry
Worldwide, more than 30% of the food produced is lost or wasted before it is
consumed. With a global population expected to grow to 9.8 billion by 2050, improving
the food supply chain efficiency will greatly contribute to the reduction of food scarcity
and to the attainment of sustainability goals.
A scalable approach to the challenge would require food supply chain stakeholders to
share information about product shipments and use for production, therefore enabling
greater transparency and product traceability.
Challenges / Pain Points
▪ Lack of transparency for consumers over the food supply chain
▪ Fragmented informational landscape
▪ Time and resource intensive product recall process
Benefits
▪ Increases product transparency
▪ Streamlines recall management process
▪ Reduces quantities of food waste in the supply
chain
▪ Immutable, single source of truth provided to
all supply chain network participants,
including regulatory authorities
▪ Safeguards the brand reputation of food
product manufacturers
Customer Requirements
▪ Share data across a multi-tier supply chain
▪ Common data set for all participants
▪ Simple onboarding process for new
participants joining the network
Solution
▪ Provide consumers with a view of the entire
product genealogy
▪ Track and trace materials throughout the end-
to-end supply chain
▪ Product recall support functionality
Status
▪ Co-innovation with >10 customers in customer
engagement initiative through 2019
▪ Planned release of standard solution: Q4/2019

•Saleable Returns Verification using Blockchain

26. US Legislation aims to prevent the introduction of counterfeit medication into the legitimate US Supply
Chain (Drug Supply Chain Security Act – DSCSA)
• Pre-Serialization Requirements: Lot Traceability Jan 2015
• Transactional information on a lot level to be provided to
subsequent supply chain partners by manufacturers,
wholesalers and re-packagers triggered by change of
ownership
• FDA is required to publish guidance with standards for the
exchange of the transaction documentation one year after
enactment (Nov 2014).
• Serialization Phase I (Nov. 27, 2017 – FDA Enforcement Discretion
until Nov 27, 2018)
• Serialization is required for each individual package and
homogenous case of product
• 2D data matrix barcode plus human readable form of
• the product’s standardized numerical identifier (SNI): NDC code
with a unique alphanumeric serial number of up to 20 chars
• lot number, expiration date
• Ability to respond to requests for verification
• Serialization Phase II (Nov. 27, 2019)
• Verification of saleable returned product at package level
• Serialization Phase III (Nov. 27, 2023)
• Full Track and Trace at the individual package level
• Transactional information on unit level shall be exchanged in
a secure, interoperable, electronic manner in accordance
with standards
• Lot Level traceability stays in effect until Nov 2023
Requires US wholesalers to verify every pack or
homogeneous case that is returned from a
dispenser if that pack shall be resold!

27. The letter of the law
28
SERIALIZATION: Beginning November 27, 2017, “… a manufacturer shall
affix or imprint a product identifier to each package and homogenous case
of a product intended to be introduced in a transaction into commerce”.
DSCSA§582(b)(2)(A)
SALEABLE RETURNED PRODUCT: Beginning November 27, 2019, “…upon
receipt of a returned product that the wholesale distributor intends to
further distribute, before further distributing such product, the wholesale
distributor shall verify the product identifier, including the standardized
numerical identifier, for each sealed homogeneous case [… or …] on each
package”.
DSCSA §582(c)(4)(D)
VERIFICATION OR VERIFY: “The term ‘verification’ or ‘verify’ means
determining whether the product identifier affixed to, or imprinted upon, a
package or homogeneous case corresponds to the standardized numerical
identifier or lot number and expiration date assigned to the product by the
manufacturer or the repackager.

28. Volume of saleable returns throughout the supply chain
Annual Saleable Returns - Unit Volume:
58,782,871 Units
2-3% of total sales are saleable returns
1,130,44 Units per Week
226,088 Units per Day
Large Distributor Annual Volume: 19,118,445
Throughout the
Pharmaceutical Supply
Chain, that comes out
to be:
Annual Saleable Returns - Return Lines:
30,823,602 Lines
Given the volume of saleable returns wholesale distributors
handle, this is, potentially, a very onerous process
Avg. Distributor Annual Volume: 475,845
Large Generic Manuf. Annual Volume: 2,052,768
Large Branded Manuf. Annual Volume: 1,797,219
Average Manuf. Annual Volume: 86,866
Peak # Saleable Returns Units/Day for DC:
4,500 Units
Peak # Saleable Returns Units/Day for Large DC:
10,000 Units
*Data captured reviewed saleable returns processed by participating wholesale distributors, between November 2014 through October 2015
