What is the difference between Verify and Decommission?

Created by Terezie Heigl, Modified on Mon, 2 Mar at 8:11 PM by Terezie Heigl

Verify checks a pack's FMD status in the national medicines verification system without changing it — useful for incoming goods checks and confirming pack authenticity.

Decommission changes the pack's status to indicate it has left the legal supply chain (e.g., dispensed to a patient, exported, or destroyed). Only decommission packs when appropriate according to your standard operating procedure (SOP) and applicable regulations.
