Explanation
DEA Form 222, or an electronic order placed through the Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS), is required for every purchase or transfer of a Schedule II substance between registrants. Schedules III through V may be ordered on an ordinary invoice and do not require Form 222, although the invoice must still be retained. Theft reporting uses Form 106, destruction uses Form 41, and initial pharmacy registration uses Form 224.
