Understanding Location Management - Suppliers

Location management allows Providers to verify that the ship-to locations you have on file for them are managed by their designated NotiSphere Recall Coordinator. NotiSphere will upload your Master Location File during implementation. This data will be refreshed periodically to ensure that the data are always up-to-date.   

The locations in the file will be mapped to each of the respective provider organizations in NotiSphere.

Once providers verify locations, the status for each location will be updated in your Location Management screen.  (You can access this screen by clicking on Location Management from the left-hand navigation menu, then clicking Locations.) 

There are five location statuses:  

  1. Covered Locations are locations managed by the designated Recall Coordinator at the affected provider organization and can receive electronic notifications from the Supplier through NotiSphere.
  1. Not-Covered Locations are locations that are not managed by the designated recall coordinator at their affected provider organization using NotiSphere. Paper recall notifications must be sent to these locations by mail.   
  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 the 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.
