Additional Information

We are actively working to add more FSMA 204 CTEs to the Trace Navigator, such as the Transformation, First Land Based Receiving, and Initial Pack. We are also working to add more search filters to help you find your events. 

The download of the FDA Spreadsheet currently includes tabs for all events. Look for the tab you need for the specific event(s) where you have data (currently the Shipping and/or Receiving tab).
