Large volume potassium containing solution procurement and storage

Hello! I'm hoping get member feedback regarding how your facilities are procuring and storing large volume potassium containing solutions (D5NS with 20 KCL 1000 mL, etc.).

1) Does pharmacy procure and stock these products or does your facility allow central supply to purchase and stock?
2) If pharmacy procures these products, are they stored in the ADCs on the units or are alternate storage methods allowed (open bins in med rooms, etc.)?

I appreciate your input!
