DIGITAL TRACEABILITY & SAP S/4HANA

End-to-End QA Governance & Traceability Gates

Every batch undergoes systematic quality gating from raw material quarantine through reaction monitoring, cake washing, vacuum drying, and final COA sign-off.

Phase 01 / Gate-01Gate 01

Raw Material Intake & Quarantine Governance

Every raw material consignment received at Unit-III is assigned a unique SAP Goods Receipt Number (GRN) and quarantined under physical locks. QC chemists perform analytical testing against pharmacopeial and internal specifications before materials are digitally released for dispensing.

100% Identity Tested | Barcode Verification | Quarantined Storage
Phase 02 / Gate-02Gate 02

Reaction Parameter Control & In-Process Checks

Batch Production Records (BPR) govern temperature ranges (-10°C to +200°C), dosing rates, and agitation speeds. In-Process Quality Control (IPQC) checkpoints verify reaction completion via HPLC/GC before transfer to isolation stages.

Critical Process Parameters (CPP) | Digital Logbooks | Dual-Signoff
Phase 03 / Gate-03Gate 03

Multi-Stage Centrifugation & Filtration Cleanliness

Dedicated cleanroom centrifugation suites isolate crystalline intermediate cake. Multi-rinse solvent cycles eliminate trace byproducts, with mother-liquor analysis validating isolation yield and cake purity profiles prior to drying.

Cleanroom Enclosure | Solvent Recovery Loop | Filter Integrity Validated
Phase 04 / Gate-04Gate 04

Closed-Loop Drying & Particle Verification

Fluidized Bed Dryers (FBD) and Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryers (RVPD) operate under calibrated vacuum and thermal envelopes. Loss on Drying (LOD) and Karl Fischer titration confirm residual solvent and moisture compliance.

Calibrated Vacuum | LOD & Karl Fischer Testing | Particle Uniformity
Phase 05 / Gate-05Gate 05

Finished Good Quarantine & COA Release

Finished chemical lots enter dedicated Finished Goods Quarantine. Final release requires comprehensive testing: assay, related substances, residue on ignition, and heavy metals. A signed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is issued by Head QA.
