Veeva OpenData offers Pharmacy Operating License data that identifies if a pharmacy HCO has the permit to receive and distribute prescription and pharmacy-only drugs.

This license data is available for the following countries:

  • Germany

The Pharmacy Operating License subscription is a separate product from Veeva OpenData in Germany. To subscribe to this data, contact a Veeva OpenData representative.

Enable the subscription

If you have subscribed to Pharmacy Operating License through your OpenData representative, enable the subscription in your Network instance so the data can be downloaded from OpenData.

To enable the subscription:

  1. In the Admin console, click System Interfaces > Veeva OpenData Subscriptions.

  2. Select Germany.

  3. In the Field Level Subscriptions section, select Pharmacy Operating License.

    If the subscription is dimmed and cannot be selected, contact your Veeva OpenData representative.

  4. Save your changes.

Enable the field

The following HCO field is used for this subscription:

  • pharmacy_operating_license__v

This field is enabled by default in new Network instances. If you have an existing Network instance, enable the field for the HCO object (Data Model > Customer Master domain).

If you do not subscribe to the Pharmacy Operating License subscription, you can use this field for local data.

Pharmacy Operating License updates

When you subscribe to field-level subscriptions like Pharmacy Operating License, the data is not immediately downloaded into your Network instance the next time your OpenData subscription runs.

The Pharmacy Operating License data will only be included in the OpenData delta export if the record has been changed in any way by OpenData.

Instead of waiting for the data to trickle into your Network instance through delta exports, you can request updates to specific HCO records to quickly receive this data. For more information, see Request updates to OpenData records.

Data refresh

OpenData will refresh this field data twice a year in batch loads.

Unsubscribing

If you unsubscribe to the Pharmacy Operating License subscription, the enabled field can be used for local data.

If you add the subscription again, ensure that any existing local data in those fields are not overwritten.

Suggestions for preserving locally managed data before syncing with Veeva OpenData:

  • Export your data in a target subscription. For more information, see Target subscriptions.
  • Run a report on your current fields.
  • Preserve data by creating custom fields. For more information, see Create a custom field.
  • Reload the previously exported data into the new custom fields.
