I've been writing our policy and procedure for DSCSA. I can't not find a requirement any where for dispensers to scan and record and thus verify against the electronic data. The only verification required at receipt is that you received the electronic data and the item has a product identifier.
I'm I wrong? I'm not saying it isn't a best practice but just not a requirement. The "verification" part applies to be able to determine items in your possession are suspect or illegitimate. I think the scanning part is misinformation requiring pharmacies to buy a monthly subscription.
I think you are correct that scanning is a best practice but is not required. I think that using a SaaS solution to maintain the data is effectively a requirement for any pharmacy that uses more than ~2 suppliers, simply due to the hassle of pulling the data otherwise in a timely manner upon request.
