Edits & Alerts

Labelers will have two data reporting options within DDR: first, they may key their data online on an NDC-by-NDC basis; second, they may transfer a saved file to DDR (certain fields must be keyed online). Labelers that key their data online will have an interactive “pop-up” help function when the DDR has detected a potential data error. Labelers that opt to transfer their data via a file to DDR can check the system periodically for a report that outlines any errors detected, as well as alerts for potential errors or data issues. These File Transfer Edit Reports include the following error/alert messages, along with instructions to the labeler to correct each data issue:
