What This Category of Data Looks Like
Policy and regulatory basis data for the pharmaceutical distribution sector primarily comes from official public documents issued by the National Medical Products Administration, Ministry of Commerce, municipal and provincial medical insurance bureaus, and health commissions. Document numbers typically follow the standard format of Guoyaojian XX [202X] XX. Updates are synchronized when new policies are released or existing policies are revised. Document structures usually include issuing authority, effective date, scope of application, and specific clauses. Fields include clause hierarchy (article, paragraph, sub-paragraph), applicable scenario classification (such as drug wholesale, retail chain, cold chain transportation), and units are mostly clause item serial numbers, with no complex measurement units.
What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on Workflow Orchestration
Clear effective dates in policy documents require the workflow to include a timeliness verification step. This step filters out old policies that predate the current business time. The breakdown of applicable scenarios requires passing business scenario parameters via variables to retrieve documents of the corresponding classification directionally. This avoids retrieving irrelevant wholesale policies for retail business scenarios. Structured clause design requires chunk granularity to match article, paragraph, and sub-paragraph levels. This prevents cross-clause retrieval that causes content confusion. Fixed formats of official documents require preset parsing rules. This ensures accurate field extraction and reduces errors in subsequent processing. Binding preceding verification nodes via nodeId can further ensure data compliance.
How to Configure
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Question Classification | Divide by business scenario (drug wholesale/retail/cold chain) | Match the applicable scenario classification of pharmaceutical distribution policies to narrow retrieval scope |
| Maximum Context | 8000–12000 characters | Adapt to the long-text structure of policy documents and retain complete clause logic |
| Single Search Limit | Top 6 entries | Balance retrieval accuracy and response speed, cover core policy clauses |
| Node Timeout | 600 seconds | Avoid interruptions during parsing of long policy documents |
| Temperature Parameter | Disabled | Ensure the rigor of policy responses and avoid generating content deviating from the original text |
variables | Pass business scenario and current time | Used for directional retrieval of policies for the corresponding scenario and verification of policy timeliness |
Three Common Mistakes
- Phenomenon: The AI response consistently appends "FastGPT is a large language model (LLM)-based knowledge base question answering system" at the end. Cause: The default reply suffix is not disabled in system settings, or the workflow does not cover the answer closing step after full retrieval.
- Phenomenon: The question classification node in the workflow responds slowly. Cause: The number of classification tags is not limited, or the
variablesparameters passed are not pre-validated, causing the node to traverse too many classification rules. - Phenomenon: Continuous multi-line line breaks cannot be implemented in the output. Cause: Native line break syntax support is not enabled in the specified reply node, or the workflow does not retain line break format fields from the original documents.
How to Confirm the Configuration Is Correct
- Run a test workflow, pass a policy consultation question for the drug wholesale scenario, and verify that retrieval results only include policy documents for the corresponding scenario.
- Adjust the temperature parameter to enabled and set it to 0, compare responses with the disabled state, and confirm that both expressions have no differences and strictly match the original content.
- Test passing a policy-related question marked with an expired effective date, and confirm that the workflow automatically filters such documents and returns valid policy content.
- Input test text containing multi-line content into the specified reply node, and confirm that the output retains the original line break format.
