To view a specific order to receive it, or to create an Inventory Transaction Report or a Lot Number Summary, click the arrow button in the Select column for that order.

TIP: Check with your state for the specifics on returning and wasting vaccines.  

Create an Order

When an administrator configures an Organization (IRMS) or Facility, they define the Order Set, which sets the order in which the vaccines appear. Users with the correct access level and permissions can create an order for the vaccine order sets that have been assigned to the Organization (IRMS) or Facility.

The fields and messages that appear on the Create Order page will depend on your user access level and permissions, as well as the configuration settings made by your organization/facility's administrator.

To create an order, click on the Orders/Transfers > Create/View Orders link in the menu. The Current Order/Transfers List page appears. Click on the Create Order button, enter the information in the fields as described below, and click Save Order. When you are ready to submit the order, click Submit Order.

NOTE: If specific administration properties are set, you will see a different page instead of the Create Order page and will need to perform additional tasks before creating an order. For example:

  • If the Inventory Reconciliation page appears, you will need to reconcile the inventory first. See Inventory Reconciliation and/or Administration Settings (Require Physical Inventory before Ordering option) for more information.
  • If the Edit Cold Storage Temperature page appears, and/or you see the Please fill in all the values for Cold Storage in order to place the order error message, you will need to edit the cold storage temperatures first. See Cold Storage and/or Administration Settings (Require Cold Chain Reporting Before Ordering option) for more information.
  • If the Warning: Order cannot be placed. There is no cold storage unit available for this Provider error message appears, you will need to add a cold storage unit first. See Cold Storage and/or Administration Settings (Require Cold Chain Reporting Before Ordering option) for more information.

Vaccines Administered Report

This field is state-configurable and may not appear on your screen. The field automatically populates with the date the Vaccines Administered Report was last submitted to the state.

Order Frequency

This field automatically populates with the provider's ordering frequency and timing. It is determined by the registry-wide settings or the Organization (IRMS) or Facility settings.

Order Timing

This field is optional. If configured, it provides the ability to record ordering timing.

Order Schedule

This field is optional. If configured, the schedule is determined by the order frequency field and order frequency start month.

Order Set

This field only appears if there are more than one order types for the provider. (If there is only one order type/set, the vaccines for the order set are automatically populated.) Select the correct order set from the drop-down list. After a selection is made from the drop-down list, the page refreshes to show the vaccines for that order set.

CAUTION: Once the order has been saved, the order type/set cannot be changed.

The following fields appear in the Order Details section on the page:

Field Description

Vaccine

Type of the vaccine ordered.

Vaccine Name

Brand name of the vaccine ordered.

Funding Source

Funding source of the vaccine ordered. If multiple funding sources are available to order, each is listed as a separate line item.

Dose Used Last Month

The total number of doses used during the month. For publicly supplied vaccines, this total includes inactive and expired lots. The field automatically populates if the Organization's Default doses used last month on order option is enabled; otherwise, enter the quantity manually.

Physical Inventory

The total number of vaccines left in the physical inventory. The field automatically populates if the Organization's Default physical inventory on order option is enabled; otherwise, enter the quantity manually.

Local Allocation

This column may or may not display, depending on user access level and permissions. If any vaccine on the order set is under allocation and the user meets the requirements below, this column displays; if no vaccines are restricted by allocation, or the user does not meet the requirements below, the column does not display.

The user requirements for this column to display are as follows: The user creating the order has state or local approver permission and belongs to an Organization (IRMS) that is a local order approver. The remaining allocation displayed in the column is calculated based on the LHJ's total allocation for the vaccine minus all submitted quantities for that vaccine, with an order date that falls within the LHJ's order frequency. This is a real-time calculation based on Submitted Order (not Approved Order). Canceled Orders and Denied and/or Rejected Quantities are excluded. A negative value will appear if either the provider or local have exceeded the allocation.

If there are vaccines that are not on allocation, but are on the same order set as vaccines that are on allocation, a blank value is displayed in this field. Also see the note in the Provider Allocation field description.

Provider Allocation

This column may or may not display, depending on user access level and permissions. If any vaccine on the order set is under allocation and the user meets the requirements below, this column displays; if no vaccines are restricted by allocation, or the user does not meet the requirements below, the column does not display.

The user requirements for this column to display are as follows: The user creating the order has state or local approver permission and belongs to an Organization (IRMS) that is a local order approver.

This field highlights in light green if there is a provider allocation. If there are vaccines that are not on allocation, but are on the same order set as vaccines that are on allocation, a blank value is displayed in this field.

NOTE: When the user submits the order, validation occurs against both the provider and local allocations. The calculation is as follows:

LHJ - Total local allocation minus all approved quantities across all IRMS/Facilities in the local jurisdiction (non-canceled orders) for the vaccine and within the date range for the LHJ's order frequency.

Provider - Total provider allocation minus all approved quantities (non-canceled orders) for the vaccine and within the date range for the provider's order frequency.

If the order exceeds the provider or local allocation, a warning message appears. However, the user can continue to create the order and it will be sent to Manual Review with an exception reason of
Exceeds provider allocation or Exceeds local allocation, respectively.

If the order quantity is within allocation, the order proceeds for local order approval and the remaining available allocation is reduced by the order quantity.

Recommended Quantity

This column is optional (configured in Administration > Settings > Properties > Vaccine Management > Hide recommended quantity). If disabled, the column displays the number preferred to be on hand. The recommended quantity based on administered doses only includes public doses and is an average of the previous year's usage.

If the Organization (IRMS)/Facility has selected to have the recommended quantity calculated based on the doses administered, the number will round off to a whole number divisible by the package size.

Order Quantity

Enter the amount of vaccine to order. If the Administration > Settings > Properties > Vaccine Management > Require Order Quantity option is enabled, this is a required field.

NOTE: If the Order Quantity is more than the Order Threshold Percent, but less than the Recommended Quantity, an alert displays and the order is queued for Manual Review with an exception reason of Outside recommended order quantity.

Urgent

Select this checkbox if the vaccine is needed urgently.

Priority Reason

Select a priority reason from the drop-down list, if available and necessary. Priority reasons are configured in Administration > Define Values > Define Lookups > VOMS/VIMS Priority Reasons.

Comments

Enter any additional information about the vaccine order (per line item).

Create an Order with Provider / Local Allocations

When creating an order with provider/local allocations, validation occurs against both the provider and local allocations. The calculation is as follows:

Approve or Deny an Order

Users that have the appropriate access level and permissions can approve orders for an Organization (IRMS) or Facility. This function is used by the state. Approved orders are not automatically sent to VTrckS. The local or state order approver reviews the orders and manually sends the orders to VTrckS using the Send to VTrckS button. (A Send to VACMAN or Send to State button may appear instead.) State approvers can also mark orders as Urgent.

Orders are added to the Conditionally Approved list if they meet the following criteria:

Once the state approver reviews and approves an order in the Manual Review queue, it moves to the Conditionally Approved queue. Conditionally approved orders are automatically associated with lot numbers for the lots that will expire first.

NOTE: Varicella is not associated with a lot number.  

See Business Logic for Approval Queue for more information on that topic.

Depending on the state, you may have the option to view the Doses Administered Report, Inventory Transaction Report, the Lot Number Summary Report, or the Cold Chain Report submitted by the clinic.

For state approvers, when an order has a status of In State Manual Review and is in the Reviewed for Approval queue, the Order Details page has two buttons: Cancel and Approve. The Cancel button returns to the previous screen. The Approve button changes the Order Status to Pending State Approval and moves it to the Ready for State Approval queue.
