Basic Workflow

  1. Access the purchase order search screen and find the PO by number, status, date, etc. Click on internal # link or double click on the row to open the PO screen.

  2. Click the “Start New Receiving” button to add a delivery tab, where items being received can be recorded.

  3. Select product and enter desired order quantity. Product selector is limited to items on the PO. Received By and Delivery Date will default to logged in user and current date.

  4. Packing slip can be uploaded to the delivery record, by clicking the link or upload button.

  5. Once all items have been recorded, click the “Delivery Complete” button. You will have the option to “Auto Stock”, which will immediately up inventory levels in the unit with the default location and quantity or you can add the delivery to the stocking list to be completed in a later step. If using the Auto Stock Option a list of the products and location can be previewed from the confirmation dialog. Any products missing a default location for the hospital unit will be displayed at the top of the list and can be resolved.

     

     

  6. Stocking report can be printed to show where delivered items are to be stocked by default.

     

  7. Purchase Order Tab will show the aggregate of all deliveries.

     

  8. If all items are received or marked as cancelled the PO will automatically change to the “Complete” status. If there are items that need to be cancelled, they can be cancelled individually or in mass.
