Update Master Data in GS1 systems:
  • Tatmeen must contain details of each partner (stakeholder) within the scope of the pharmaceutical product supply chain. Each business partner is represented in Tatmeen with unique Global Location Number (GLN). All supply chain partners in scope of Tatmeen such as Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs), Licensed Agents, 3PLs, Warehouses, Hospitals, Pharmacies need to update their Partner Master in GS1 partner master system so it can be sent to Tatmeen. Information such as GLN, Geocoordinates, SPOC (single point of contact/administrator) for the location needs to be updated in the partner master.
  • Brand owners (Marketing Authorization Holders, Licensed Agents) also need to review and update their Product Master (registered drugs, unregistered drugs) on GS1 BrandSync system with information such as Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), MAH GLN, and Licensed Agent GLN, packing hierarchy master data, etc. After the required updates this data is sent to Tatmeen.

To use Tatmeen, users must first register with Tatmeen. Once Tatmeen receives the partner master data record, a registration email will be sent to the SPOC specified on the partner master data record. SPOC can then create and manage additional Service/Technical and Dialogue Users (Mobile/Portal users) in Tatmeen after completing registration.
  • SCP Single Point Of Contact (SPOC) - Each business partner location in the Tatmeen must have a Single-Point-of-Contact (SPOC) defined within the business partner master data. SPOC acts as an administrator for the specific business partner location (GLN) and are responsible to manage and handle users within their organization.
  • SCP Portal and Mobile - These are additional dialog users that are responsible to perform operational transactions in Tatmeen Portal and Mobile. All the dialog users for the organisation are created against the specific business partner location (GLN) that is administered by the SPOC.
  • SCP B2B Service - These are used to access predefined Tatmeen electronic Application Programming Interface (API) services. Then this user will register on Developer Portal to get API Key, which will then be used for B2B integration. (Please see Postman Collection in Next Step)

For Tatmeen Product master data and Partner master data are in scope. Master data refers to the characteristics and attributes of an object such as GTIN, product description, unit of measure, partner address, etc.

Product owners (MAHs, Licensed Agents) need to add their products in relevant MoHAP systems. All the supply chain entities that are part of Tatmeen scope such as MAH, Licensed Agent, Distributors, 3PLs, Hospital, Warehouse, and Pharmacy are responsible for registering their partner master data in the relevant MoHAP systems. MoHAP systems send all required product and partner master data to BrandSync GS1 where additional master data attributes are entered. BrandSync GS1 then makes this data available to Tatmeen.

To access Tatmeen, the user must first register in Tatmeen. For supply chain partners the process start with defining the SPOC in the partner master data in BrandSync. Once SPOC is registered in Tatmeen, he/she can create additional Portal and mobile users and Service (B2B) users.

In addition to using APIs (B2B connectivity), Tatmeen portal can also be used to share Commissioning and Aggregation events using File Upload functionality. Using this feature, authorized users (MAH / Licensed Agent) will be able to upload a CSV file, containing commissioning and aggregation events.

(Download in English) | (Watch in English)New

Mobile commissioning functionality will be available for MAH or Licensed Agents to manually commission a SGTIN for a product they’re authorized to manufacture and/or import. This functionality is to be used by entities that due to small product volumes or technical capabilities is not in position to report commissioning events via the B2B API as described in the Technical Guide for Manufacturers. Please consider that this functionality will only commission the product, but it will still be necessary to pack it using the Hierarchy Change -> Pack functionality of Tatmeen.

Supply Chain actors that don’t have the capability to generate SSCC themselves, will have option in Tatmeen to generate/request new SSCC codes (Serial Shipping Container Codes) and print SSCC labels for logistics unit.

The status and detailed information of any serialized item can be checked at any time using Product Verification functionality. Based on a user's security level users will be able to see:

  • Product Verification – The user will be able to see basic information about serialized/aggregated items and aggregation hierarchy if any exists.
  • Product verification with a journey – The user will be able to see basic information about serialized/aggregated items and the aggregation hierarchy if any exists. The User will also have access to the detailed journey of the products, status changes, users and locations where the status changes happened, and movements between different GLN locations.

The Batch Recall functionality is used for managing the recall of product batches deemed unsuitable throughout the supply chain. The Batch Recall process has three steps:

  • Batch recall initiation
  • Batch recall initiation approval (or rejection) by MoHAP
  • Batch recall completion

The batch recall is first initiated by the MAH/Scientific Office/Licensed Agents or by MOHAP Drug Dept – Pharma-Co-vigilance/DOH Pharma-Co-vigilance/DHA Pharma-Co-vigilance.

After initiation, the recall must be approved by MoHAP PV. Once approved, all items of the batch are blocked from dispensation, but transfer is still allowed.

As the last step, the recall is marked as completed by the initiating entity once the process is completed. After completion, all items related to that batch are decommissioned in Tatmeen.

For Tatmeen Product master data and Partner master data are in scope. Master data refers to the characteristics and attributes of an object such as GTIN, product description, unit of measure, partner address, etc.

Product owners (MAHs, Licensed Agents) need to add their products in relevant MoHAP systems. All the supply chain entities that are part of Tatmeen scope such as MAH, Licensed Agent, Distributors, 3PLs, Hospital, Warehouse, and Pharmacy are responsible for registering their partner master data in the relevant MoHAP systems. MoHAP systems send all required product and partner master data to BrandSync GS1 where additional master data attributes are entered. BrandSync GS1 then makes this data available to Tatmeen.

  • Import Clearance, performed by the MoHAP Customs.

  • Batch recall completion

The batch recall is first initiated by the MAH/Scientific Office/Licensed Agents or by MOHAP Drug Dept – Pharma-Co-vigilance/DOH Pharma-Co-vigilance/DHA Pharma-Co-vigilance.

After initiation, the recall must be approved by MoHAP PV. Once approved, all items of the batch are blocked from dispensation, but transfer is still allowed.
