Add NDC

Whether you used a blank template or an existing product as a template, the system starts the Add New NDC wizard. The wizard contains a number of areas organized into field sets, that is, sections that are logical groupings. The field sets include:

The template header consists of a few empty fields just below the title Add New NDC. As you complete the template, the system updates these view-only fields. Header fields include: NDC; Request Status; Product; Generic Name.
