Excerpt
  1. Using the Unique Inventory Attributes, Inventory Date, and Aggregation Tolerance, Inventory will now be Aggregated to eliminate the duplication of Inventory line items that share the same Unique Inventory Attributes.
  2. Alternate ID Types can be defined as a 'Unique Inventory Attribute' and used for Inventory Aggregation.
  3. An Aggregation Tolerance has been added to the definition of the following (in order of precedence):
    1. Product
    2. Inventory Area
    3. Hospital
  4. The Inventory Date is assigned when a Product is added to Inventory from outside sources (via a Purchase Order, or when Inventory is added manually).  This date is then copied during the Inventory Transfer Process.  The Inventory Date has been changed from a Date/Time, to just the Date in order to more effectively Aggregate Inventory using the Aggregation Tolerance.
  5. The Inventory Date facilitates First-In-First-Out (FIFO) Inventory Management.
  6. Products with a short shelf life should have a smaller Aggregation Tolerance; conversely, Products with no Expiration Date, or a long shelf life, should have a larger Aggregation Tolerance.
  7. During the Inventory Aggregation process, Inventory will be aggregated if the Unique Inventory Attributes are the same, and the Inventory Dates are within the Aggregation Tolerance.When Inventory Dates are aggregated, the most recent date will be used for the final Aggregated Inventory. 
  8. While adding Inventory for a Product, the Inventory can now be assigned a Vendor and Contract.  The Vendor and Contract are now one of the 'Unique Inventory Attributes'.
