Copy 3 (blue) of the DEA Form 222 is kept by which party when the order is placed?

When ordering Schedule II medications, a DEA Form 222 is used and three copies circulate. Copy 1 goes to the supplier, Copy 2 is sent to the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Copy 3 (the blue copy) is kept by the purchaser for its records. The pharmacy, as the party placing the order, retains this blue copy to document exactly what was ordered and to have a record for compliance and audits. The supplier handles Copy 1, the DEA receives Copy 2, and central fill does not take custody of the blue copy for recordkeeping in this process.
