Match Results

The system matches selected NDCs to existing items in PPS-N. The matches must have the same Generic Code Number Sequence Number (GCNSEQNO column) or the system generates an error.

To Match Results:

  1. With the FDB Search results table displaying, locate the NDCs you want to match.

  2. In the Select column, click the check box beside a few of the NDCs that you want to match. Or, click the Select All button to select all entries in the results table.

  3. Confirm that all of your selections have the same Generic Code Number Sequence Number in the GCNSEQNO column. If the numbers are not the same, the system generates an error.

  4. Click the Match Results button below the table. The system starts a process that matches selected NDCs to existing items in PPS-N. The system opens the matching page, copies the selected NDC items into the FDB NDCs table on the left of the page, and on the right, displays any products in PPS-N that matches the GCNSEQNO.

  5. Select a parent.

To Select Parent:
