Issues, Challenges and Opportunities in Oncology Production

Advertisement

 

We have 4 issues for discussion under this agenda.

 

Firstly, CEO is looking for costing of Oncology API as finished products so that we can set a price for selling it to other companies and also we can use as raw materials to be used in our Oncology Solid Facility (ROSF) for Oncology FG products. He suggested us yesterday to consider only variable cost. Could you please give us such costing for all available API under Oncology API Facility (ROAF)? Currently we have following 2 products in that facility for which we are interested to know the costing:

 

  • Sorafenib Tosylate 3.0 Kg (SOT) 
  • Sorafenib Tosylate INN 

 

Secondly, if we want to use our Oncology API as raw materials for Oncology FG products, do we need to conform any VAT formalities. If so, please take relevant actions in the regard and also please give us necessary training at warehouse end so that the operations get smoothen. Also how to proceed when we would go for selling those API to other companies, please?

 

Thirdly, we would like to sit with Pfizer Laboratories shortly where we would try to finalize the price for different QA/AC service that they already enjoyed. Please assign someone who can raise relevant financial concerns in that meeting. As soon as we know the meeting schedule we will let you know.

 

Finally, It is a gentle reminder that we are still looking for a regular source of item-wise cost information for our relevant available inventory. Please let us know when the information is ready so that we can plug in those to generate our monthly report of Inventory.

Responses: 

1. As per our records, the total quantity produced during 2020-21 FY, in the said facility is only 19Kg of different APIs as against Tk. 14.69 million as variable expenses. Thus, Variable Overhead Costing around Tk. 7.73 lac per KG as LOH excluding Material Cost is Tk. 0.90 lac per Kg. Both the items will bear almost the same variable cost (Tk. 863000/Kg) with a difference of Tk. 850 packaging cost.  

 

2. No such VAT formalities until we use resources internally through IOT. For external sales, VAT issues will be taken care of by us duly after the Price Declaration of the saleable product. We will just need a copy of Drug Annexure & Approved Price from FDA. You must sell the FG Item Code: 510050008 through a Depot from where Sales Order will be created like other general sales with DIMS in Legacy /Order Management in ERP. VAT Challans will be issues as usual where no additional training is necessary from us.

 

3. A person will be assigned from our end to join the meetings whenever you organize them with Pfizer.

 

4. ERP is a good regular source of information you are looking for, as long as our users enter data accurately therein. You can develop a report to pick the cost information from the system upon a discussion with the ERP Consultants
