Correcting An NDC Number For Received Inventory
If you are tracking NDC numbers on inventory, and the NDC number has changed or was entered incorrectly, you can edit the inventory from the View/Edit Inventory screen.
Correcting inventory NDC only corrects inventory you have or have had on hand. If you are looking to modify the drug build NDC number for future inventory, please reference this article.
Corrections to the NDC Number will edit any selected inventory, create an Inventory Edit transaction and an entry in the Audit Log, and will edit all historical receipts, send outs and prescription fills where this inventory ID was used.
