titleInventory Transfer Guide

A PDF version of this guide is available for download, but it was written for version 0.9.7 and may not reflect current functionality.

This screen allows you to track inventory as it moves from your inventory receiving area to other locations in the hospital.  Units may put in requests for resupply to your inventory team, who then fulfill the requests on this screen.

titleSearching for Inventory Transfer Requests

The inventory transfer request search allows you to locate any previously created transfer requests, and review and update the status.

Once a transfer has been posted, the status will change to Complete.



Note
titleInventory Status Search

Note:  The Inventory Receiving screen will be released in future versions of VetView.  Some of the functionality in version 1.6.1 has been made in anticipation of this feature.  Thus, while Transferred and Received are statuses available for search, this is currently for legacy data only.
