Pharmaceutical CSOS Software Guide

CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE ORDERING SYSTEM

Complete Guide to Pharmaceutical CSOS Software

As a business in the pharmaceutical industry, the products you buy and sell are controlled under a number of regulations and governing bodies which makes it imperative to abide by these rules in your distribution processes. For Schedule II controlled substances, submitting DEA Form 222 is just one such requirement.

In an effort to reduce costs and save time, the DEA has established criteria that replaces the need to manually submit Form 222 and instead customers can send the necessary information electronically, through the use of a Controlled Substance Ordering System or CSOS. Until recently, this functionality was typically only available as a third-party software add-on with a hefty price tag. However, CSOS functionality can now be found as part of an integrated inventory and accounting ERP solution.

This guide provides information on CSOS requirements and how CSOS impacts your pharmaceutical distribution business.
