How do you keep serialized product moving without quarantining over data mismatches?

Under track-and-trace rules, a gap between the physical unit and its electronic record blocks the sale. The work is keeping the two linked.

Why mismatches quarantine stock

Every saleable unit carries a unique identifier, and trading partners exchange electronic data at each change of ownership. When the record does not tie to the physical unit, the product cannot ship, and a quarantine and manual reconciliation follow.

Tie the data to the unit

The number to lift is serialization accuracy, the share of received units whose data ties out against the physical product. The FDA traceability rules require interoperable electronic tracing and package-level verification, now in force.

Where the ERP closes the loop

On Hudace, serialized identifiers travel through receiving, inventory, and dispatch, so the unit and its record stay linked. Xenon AI auto-matches inbound messages to orders, flags duplicate or suspect serials, and predicts which shipments will mismatch before they leave.

A quality reviewer clears the exception and makes the release or quarantine call.

The numbers to watch

Track how cleanly serialized product flows.

Serialization accuracy

Share of units whose data ties out to the physical product. The straight-through enabler.

Mismatch rate

Received units whose record does not match. Each one risks a quarantine.

Quarantine rate

Shipments held over data exceptions. The cost of broken links.

Straight-through verification

Units verified with no manual touch. Higher means product keeps moving.
