Which of the following is NOT part of DSCSA requirements for purchasing a drug?

• A. Transaction Information
• B. Transaction History
• C. Transaction Statement
• D. Purchase Order Number

Answer: (D)

DSCSA requirements focus on tracing prescription drugs through the supply chain. At each transaction, three elements must accompany the product and be exchanged between trading partners: Transaction Information, Transaction History, and Transaction Statement. Transaction Information provides the drug’s identity and traceability details (such as the product identifier and lot information). Transaction History is a record that shows the chain of custody from the manufacturer to the current owner. Transaction Statement is an attestation that the seller is in compliance with DSCSA and that the information being transmitted is accurate. A Purchase Order Number, while commonly used in purchasing for internal tracking, is not part of the DSCSA data requirements and is not required to accompany a drug under these regulations.
