OVERVIEW

An end-to-end enterprise solution for pharmaceutical serialization, regulatory reporting, and supply chain traceability.

SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals (SAP ATTP) is a specialized, high-volume data management solution designed to help pharmaceutical companies comply with global and regional drug serialization and track-and-trace regulations, such as the US DSCSA and the EU FMD. Co-developed with leading pharmaceutical companies, the solution provides a corporate serialization repository and management system.

Key Features and Capabilities

  • Robust Serial Number Management: Generates, tracks, and manages serial numbers and their aggregations (e.g., bundles, cases, pallets), supporting both sequential and randomized number ranges.
  • Extensive Serialization Repository: Captures and stores massive volumes of serialization data, objects, events (EPCIS), and business transactions, built to scale for large enterprises.
  • Country-Specific Regulatory Reporting: Provides readily available country compliance packages and interfaces for reporting serialized data to national authorities (e.g., US, EU, China, Turkey, Argentina).
  • Deep Data Integration: Seamlessly integrates master and transactional data with existing SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS/EWM), as well as packaging lines.
  • Counterfeit Prevention & Verification: Enables verification of product authenticity and provenance by tracking the chain of custody and comparing serial numbers at each point.
  • Fiori-Based User Interface: Offers web-based Fiori apps like the Data Cockpit for occasional users and mobile apps (Authenticator, Mobile Warehouse) for on-the-go functionality.

Target Users and Use Cases

SAP ATTP is an enterprise-grade solution primarily targeting the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences industry. The main users and use cases include:

  • Target Users: Pharmaceutical Marketing Authorization Holders (MAH), Contract Manufacturers (CMO), Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PL), and Wholesalers.
