Split Transfer Request Stocking Item

This functionality is new as of version 4.1.

While Stocking Transfer Request Items, the ‘Stocking Items' can be split. This will modify the ‘Transferred In’ transactions, and the Quantity and/or Unique Inventory Attributes of the New Inventory that is Received into the Destination Inventory Location.

In order to Split the Stocking Items for a Transfer Request, one of the following must apply:

The User is assigned to the Destination Inventory Area (Hospital Unit), and has the 'Inventory Transfer' Elevated Privilege; OR,
The User is a member of a Security Role that is assigned to the Destination Inventory Area (Hospital Unit), and has the 'Inventory Transfer' Elevated Privilege.
Refer to:
- About Elevated Privileges
- Configure Inventory Elevated Privilege

Splitting Stocking Items versus Inventory Items:

When the ‘Stocking Item’ is split, the ‘Transferred In’ transaction is modified; versus,
When the ‘Inventory' is split, the Existing Inventory, in the Destination Inventory Location, is modified, and will become ‘Reconciliation’ transactions.
- When Inventory is ‘Reconciled’, multiple ‘Reconciliation’ transactions capture the changes made to the Quantity, Inventory Location, Expiration Date, Lot Number, Serial Number, NDC, and/or Manufacturer (Unique Inventory Attributes).

To Split the Stocking Item for a Transfer Request Item:

Navigate to the ‘Inventory Stocking’ screen for:
1. A Transfer Request that has been ‘Transferred’, but not fully ‘Stocked’; OR,
  1. The Transfer Request is ‘Transferred’ or ‘Incomplete’; AND,
  2. The ‘Start Stocking’ button is available on the ‘Pull’ tab; OR,
