Description

Pull No

The unique identifier for this pull. An Inventory Transfer Request can have multiple pulls.

Pulled By

The VetView user who acknowledged the Inventory Transfer Request and started the Inventory Pull.

Pull Date

The date the Inventory Pull was started. Depending on your hospital’s workflow policies, most pulls should be initiated and completed on the same day unless there is an issue.

Print Shopping List Button

This button contains the list of all items in the Inventory Transfer Request, and a blank line next to each item for the person performing the Inventory Pull to write down notes and quantities for the item as they grab it from the shelf. This information can also be entered in real time on the Inventory Pull screen itself.

Print Button

This button prints the Inventory Pull Report which is different from the Shopping List. This report contains the pull quantities, not just the requested quantities.

Continue Pull

As this tab is only visible when a pull has been started, if the pull is not in Complete status, this tab will present the option to Continue the pull. Clicking this button will load the Inventory Pull screen. When the pull is complete, this button will become disabled.

Start Stocking

When the pull has been marked as Completed on the Inventory Pull screen, this button becomes available on the Inventory Transfer Request screen. Clicking on it will load the Inventory Stocking screen to begin the process.

Delete Pull

A pull is a transient part of the Inventory process and if one was initiated by mistake and cannot be completed on the day it was started, it can be deleted and a new one created, so long it has not yet been marked as completed.

Expand Inventory Details

Lot, serial, manufacturer, and NDC are hidden on smaller screens to prevent the need for scrolling horizontally. For products where these details are important, such as pharmaceuticals, this button will display the hidden columns. It can be toggled on and off at any time.

Print Button (Inventory Pull Report)

Clicking on this button loads the Inventory Pull Report, which contains the details of the Inventory Transfer Request at the top of the screen, and then lists each of the items in the pull and the quantity that was pulled.

The Shopping List report is intended to be used by the person who is processing the Inventory Pull in real time, but the Inventory Pull Report is intended to be delivered with the items to the Destination location, as a receipt for them to confirm the items requested were delivered as expected.

This button will delete a pull that was started but had no work performed on it. A new pull can be started with the items that were not marked as pulled on the original request at any time.

Warning

This screen will not issue a warning when Delete Pull is clicked.

This can also be useful if the remaining items are out of stock. Deleting the pull allows the person performing the Inventory Pull to return to the original transfer request and Cancel Remaining Undelivered Items.

...

Delete pull is not available on Pulls that have been marked as Completed.

Inventory Stocking Tab

When a Pull has been marked as Completed, an offline process of manually delivering the requested items to the Destination location is assumed to occur.

The Stocking process begins when the Destination acknowledges receipt of the delivered items via the Inventory Stocking Screen. The process can also be initiated from the Pull tab on the Inventory Transfer Request screen, but the Start Stocking button will load the delivery on the Inventory Stocking screen itself.

Once the pull has started stocking, the Inventory Stocking tab becomes visible on the Inventory Request screen.
