approval.

Verify that the material’s status (quarantine, approved, or rejected) aligns with the movement request.

Approval Process:

• The Warehouse Supervisor reviews the request, confirms availability of storage space, and authorizes the movement.
• Document approval details in the Movement Authorization Log (Annexure-2).

5.2 Material Movement Documentation

1. Recording Movement Details:
   • Record each movement in the Raw Material Movement Log (Annexure-3), including material name, batch number, origin, destination, and reason for movement.
   • Ensure dual verification (by two warehouse personnel) of high-risk material movements.
2. Barcode Scanning (if applicable):
   • Use barcode scanners to track movement electronically and link the data to the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
   • Maintain digital logs in the Electronic Movement Record (Annexure-4).

5.3 Special Handling and Segregation

1. Hazardous and Sensitive Materials:
   • Follow special handling procedures for hazardous, temperature-sensitive, or light-sensitive materials.
   • Document these movements separately in the Special Material Movement Log (Annexure-5).
2. Segregation Requirements:
   • Ensure materials with different statuses (approved, rejected, quarantined) are moved to clearly marked and segregated areas.
   • Update the Segregation Compliance Log (Annexure-6) after each movement.

5.4 Reconciliation and Audit

1. Daily Reconciliation:
   • At the end of each day, reconcile physical inventory with documented movements.
   • Record reconciliation findings in the Daily Movement Reconciliation Log (Annexure-7).
2. QA Audits:
   • The QA department conducts weekly audits of movement records to verify compliance.
   • Document audit findings in the Movement Audit Log (Annexure-8).

5.5 Training and Compliance

1. Employee Training:
   • Conduct quarterly training sessions for warehouse staff on movement documentation protocols.
   • Maintain training records in the Movement Documentation Training Log (Annexure-9).
2. Regulatory Compliance:
   • Ensure that documentation practices align with GMP, FDA, and WHO standards.
   • Conduct bi-annual reviews of SOP effectiveness and compliance.
