The two-invoice system" means that the drug manufacturer will issue an invoice to the distributing enterprise once, and the distributing enterprise will issue an invoice to the medical institution. Drug manufacturers or science, industry and trade integration of group-type enterprises set up only the sale of the enterprise (group) of wholly-owned or controlling commercial companies (the country is limited to one commercial company), the domestic general agent of foreign drugs (the country is limited to one domestic general agent) can be regarded as the production of enterprises.

Pharmaceutical distribution group-type enterprises within the wholly-owned (controlling) subsidiaries or wholly-owned (controlling) subsidiaries between the transfer of drugs may not be regarded as a one-vote, but at most allowed to issue an invoice. Drug production and distribution enterprises should be in accordance with the principles of fairness, legality and honesty and credit to reasonably determine the level of markup.
