Understanding Location Management - Suppliers

Understanding Location Management - Suppliers

Location management allows your organization to transmit your Ship-To locations to provider accounts so they can verify whether the locations are managed by the designated recall coordinator during a recall event. NotiSphere will upload your Master Location File during implementation. This data will be updated periodically to ensure any changes in your data are captured.  
The locations in the file will be mapped to each of the respective provider organizations within our system.
Once providers verify locations the statuses will be displayed in your location management screen.  You can access the locations screen by clicking on Location Management from the left-hand navigation and then clicking “Locations”  

There are five location statuses:  

  1. Covered Locations are locations managed by the designated recall coordinator at the affected provider organization that are marked as covered.  These locations have been designated by the Provider to receive electronic notifications from the Supplier.
  1. Not-Covered Locations are locations that belong to your provider’s account but are not managed by the designated recall coordinator at their affected provider organization. Mail notification must be provided.  
  2. NotiSphere Administered Locations are locations where an identified recall email box exists. Suppliers may send electronic notifications and receive electronic responses through NotiSphere.
  3. Invalid Locations are locations that do not belong to your provider’s affected provider organization and have been mapped to their account by mistake.
  4. Pending Locations are locations that have not yet been mapped or reviewed by the provider.
