Thank you for this post, albeit 2 years old, it has assisted me with part of my query.
Now the the ESMP platform is fully operational. it is clear from the current guidance that the marketing status of a product is obtained via the IRIS database.
My question is when reporting a shortage via ESMP, it is also required to update IRIS to change the marketing status from "marketed" to "temporarily unavailable" as a result of this shortage? If the duration of the shortage is less than 4 weeks, should the marketing status be updated, I refer to the point in the attached Q & A "excluding an out of stock situation less than 12 months" (refer to:
Q&A - Actual marketing & cessation ext). Any clarification would be most welcome.
