• SPL uses both DUN's number and FEI number, the Dun's number is mandatory and the FEI number is not. It can capture both numbers. The DUN's number is being checked at the FDA side for SPL when it comes to the gateway against the Duns and Bradstreet database.
• The schematron (business rules) would only check for the proper format of the DUN's number, that it is nine digits (e.g., 12-345-6789 or 123456789).
• The validation guide has been the most beneficial for vendors doing SPL, but it does have some shortcomings. A lot of rules about one element, but no information on other elements. Need to pick one place for the instructions.
• The validation document will only talk about change between schema and schematron and format. We will point back to the IG for no differences in the schema and schematron.
• Attached are two documents, elements of the message and the optionality when sending to FDA (elements.doc), and the validation document (HL7 Drug Stability Reporting Validation Procedures (12-13-10).doc). Please take a look at the elements document and using track changes remove what is not changing between the schema and schematron and add format rules and other rules for the elements that need it. The element documents will then be inserted into the validation document.
• There will be no teleconference next week on January 10, 2011.
