Overview of SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals
“The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality
(red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill). Redpills are people who have chosen to face reality, while bluepills remain living in ignorance of
the truth, whether by choice or because they have not had a choice.“
Source: WIKIPEDIA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_pill_and_blue_pill)
“This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you
want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”

International legislation fighting the counterfeiting/ falsification of
medicinal drugs requiring serialization
1
In response to and with the aim to counter the large scale counterfeiting/ falsification of medicinal
drugs, international governments have implemented, enacted or are planning to draft legislation calling
for the serialization and reporting of medicinal drugs to improve patient safety.

Why will it become BIG DATA?
Scale of international legislation calling for serialization of drugs
USA
• Serialization by Nov. 2017
• Full value chain track & trace by 2023
• ~31% of global sales affected
EU
• Serialization Q1/2019
• Point of dispense verification
CHINA
• Serialization in effect
• Reporting S/N to China FDA DB
Compliance to serialization directives is a MUST to retain the license to sell in these regulated target markets.
Customers should start implementing now because of the massive scale of required process re-engineering.
Significant increase in volume of serialized items
Different reporting needs for compliance

The implementation of these legislations require serial numbers be
encoded in 2-D barcodes

GTIN (Global Trade Item Identification Number)
Expiration Date (YYMMDD)
Batch or Lot Number
Serial Number
Source: 2-D Matrix barcode courtesy of GS1 Germany
 Serialized trade item information is contained in a
2-D barcode (GS1 Data Matrix) which is applied to
medicinal sales unit packages, in some cases also
to their aggregations to bundles, cases and then
pallets - either for compliance or logistical reasons.
 The 2-D barcode typically contains the following
elements:
 Global Trade Identification Number
 Expiration date
 Batch/ lot Number
 Serial number
The implementation of these
legislations require serial numbers be
encoded in 2-D barcodes
