‘Product Not Found’ alerts

‘Product Not Found’ alerts amount to more than 30% of the total alerts generated when scanning medicines under FMD. Often, this is due to packs which are not part of FMD or are from batches generated prior to FMD coming into effect.

A new version of the MVS (R1.06), designed to improve the End User experience, was released on 6th April 2020.
