Program: Key Data Element
This program lets you add, change and delete key data elements.
Exploring
Where it fits in?
Things you can do in this program include:
-
You will be able to enter or browse for a key data element.
-
You can change or delete a key data element that has not been used and is no longer configured. For example, if the CTE configuration has been archived.
Starting
Security
eSignatures
You can restrict access to the eSignature transactions within a program at operator, group, role or company level (configured using the Electronic Signature Configuration Setup program).
Electronic Signatures provide security access, transaction logging and event triggering that gives you greater control over your system changes.
UPT Key Data Element added
Controls access to the adding of a key data element in the Key Data Element program.
UPT Key Data Element changed
Controls access to the changing (updating the details ) of a key data element in the Key Data Element program.
UPT Key Data Element deleted
Controls access to the deleting of a key data element in the Key Data Element program.
Groups
You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).
Roles
You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to roles and applying access control against the role (configured using the Role Management program).

Using
Process
UPT Setup Process flow
-
In Setup Options define the following:
-
Unified product traceability as FSMA or ED-DPP (Setup Options > Configuration > Manufacturing > Quality Management)
-
Unified product traceability entries as the length of your retention period (Setup Options > History > Manufacturing > Quality Management)
-
-
Enable the following fields within the Stock Code Maintenance program:
-
UPT required checkbox.
Ensure the stock codes are traceable and/or serialized
-
-
Use the following programs to define :and configure the required critical traceability elements and key data elements:
-
Use the Key Data Element program to define your intended KDEs.
-
Use the Critical Traceability Element program to add your required CTEs.
-
Use the Critical Traceability Locations program to add your intended CTE locations of the defined CTEs and KDEs.
-
Use the Configure Critical Traceability Element to configure your CTEs by linking them to the selected KDEs and critical traceability locations.
-
UPT Functionality1. Transaction processing:
-
You can use the Unified Product Traceability Status program to review the status of the captured UPT data.
-
Use the Unified Product Traceability Tracking program to select transactions for the relevant transaction types allowed for CTEs.
-
The Unified Product Traceability Data Entry program can be accessed from both the Unified Product Traceability Status and Unified Product Traceability Tracking programs to capture KDEs and select and enter location details for CTEs.
-
2. For UPT data that is no longer required, use the UPT Purge and Archive program to manage or remove data by archiving or purging it.
3. Use the report function to build and customize a report from the selected UPT data.
