Inventory to Labs Review Sessions February 2024
Order of recommend setup for new labs
Labs interested in making new inventory should do some offline work before splashing around in VetView. Have a list of websites or item catalogs that they frequently order from on hand for this information.
Offline homework for personnel who do lab product reorders
Who are the vendors I usually order from?
What products does each vendor sell?
Who is the preferred vendor for each product?
What is the order price and quantity for each product?
How much of each product do I have to order from each vendor?
How is this product shipped? Is it different from how we’ll use it -i.e. we order a box of 100 but use them 1 at a time?
Will this be a floor stock product that gets reordered in bulk, or will we eventually want to decrement it on a per test basis?
How is each product stocked in our shelves? Do we order 1 case (order unit) of 10 boxes (stock unit) of 1000 gloves (sales/usage unit)?
Can I order the same product from a different vendor at a different price?
Actual VetView Setup
Inventory Location Setup under Lab Setup
We know this part is changing
Vendor Setup will have to be next step, not Product setup
Product Setup - link products to vendors, and to inventory locations
Now you can make your first purchase order
Workflow Questions and Bugs Identified during review sessions
The concept we have on the Inventory Screens themselves - screen to screen flow - should be included on these pages as long as the user has the rights. We have some “Go to product setup” but we should also have “Go To Vendor Setup” in a few other where it’s appropriate.
Also need to discuss the redundancy on right click menus in general. We added too many buttons and they could be simplified for the Labs.
Lab Setup → Workstation/Section Setup Screen
The location drop down doesn’t build out until you’ve saved the entire Workstation at least once
This means you can’t set parent locations until you’ve saved at least once.
Should just have an info dot or warning that it’s required?
Missing some of the info from Hospital - no way to have Defaults/Hidden on Labs
Lack of Default Location setting is breaking PO auto stock feature
Vendor Setup Screen
We should add some ghost text in the fields to aid in product setup since these will all be inventory newbies
Contact not populating to top (on Save?) - must be primary
addt bug LIMS-12393: Unable to delete lab vendor contactClosed
Product Setup Screen
Inventory on Hand
Product Pop up?
Why are right click menus taking us to product setup when we’re already there? Hide this.
Why do we have both Edit Inventory and Edit lot/serial/manufacturer? Redundant.
Why are right click menus taking us to the transaction log…… when we have a transaction log tab? Is there a difference?

Pick List - add item from picklist results in cannot invoke method error. Need stacktrace@Shauna Corsaro@Cathy Allison

PO Receiving - What is the default location? We don’t get to set this in labs.
