Search/Add/Edit Inventory

Authorized users can search for, add, and edit inventory. To do so, click the Inventory > Search/Add Inventory menu link, which opens the Search/Add Inventory page in VOMS.

Use the search filters to search for specific vaccines or types of vaccines. To narrow the search results, enter more criteria. To produce more search results, remove search criteria from one or more filters. The search results automatically update as the search criteria change. The search filters include:

Search Field	Description
Barcode Scanner	If a barcode scanner has been installed, click where it says Barcode Scanner: Not Ready. Click Here to Activate, then scan the barcode. The information appears in the Search field or an error message displays. If the barcode does not already exist in inventory and the user has the appropriate permissions, a prompt appears asking if the vaccine should be added to inventory. Note that the Administration > Properties > Registry Settings > Enable Barcode Tools option must be enabled in IWeb. See Barcode Scanning below.

Add New Inventory

NOTE: If the IWeb Administration > Settings > Properties > Vaccine Management > Do Not Allow Facility Client to add new inventory using "Lot number - Search/Add" option is enabled (selected), Facility Client users cannot add new lot numbers on the Lot Number Maintenance page either manually or via barcode scanning.

Before new inventory can be added, a search must be conducted. The Add New Inventory button appears only after a search is performed.

To add new inventory, click the Add New Inventory button. The Add New Inventory page opens. Enter the information as needed and click Save. The fields and options in this section are as follows:

Authorized users can edit the information; other uses can only view the information on this page. The following fields, options, and buttons are available on this page:

To inactivate a vaccine lot, slide the Inactivate toggle to the right. The Inactive Reason drop-down list becomes available; select a reason from the list. Click Save to save the change and return to the Search/Add Inventory page.

Inactivate a Lot Number

Lot numbers cannot be deleted, but they can be inactivated so that they are not available for use. Prior to inactivating lot numbers, users must adjust the inventory quantity to zero.

Some states only allow Registry Client users to inactivate lot numbers. If the Administration > Settings > Properties > Vaccine Management > Allow Only Registry Clients to Inactivate Lots option is enabled, the Registry Client must also have the Inactivate Lot Numbers permission.

To inactivate a lot number, first search for it and then select it in the search results to open the Lot Number Maintenance page. Click the Edit button, then toggle the Inactivate switch to the right to turn it on. Select a reason from the Inactive Reason drop-down list. Click Save when finished.

Barcode Scanning

If the Administration > Properties > Registry Settings > Enable Barcode Tools option is enabled in IWeb, Registry Client users can use barcode scanning as an inventory search method. Either 1D or 2D barcodes can be scanned.

The status of an installed barcode scanner is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the Search/Add Inventory page, on the same line as the Filter icon: either Ready or Not Ready. Example:

When the barcode scanner status displays Ready, scan the barcode. The system evaluates for matching inventory and, if found, the vaccine information appears in the Search field. The following items are assessed for deduplication:

If a 1D barcode is scanned and there is existing inventory with a matching product ID/GTIN, all matching inventory is displayed in the search results. If no matching inventory is found, a message displays to inform the user.

If a 2D barcode is scanned and there is existing inventory with a matching product ID/GTIN, lot number, and expiration data (all three criteria), the Lot Number Maintenance page for that vaccine lot opens. If no existing inventory matches all three criteria, the user is prompted whether or not they want to add the inventory and if the user has the appropriate permission(s) and chooses to add the inventory, the Lot Number Add page opens with the information pre-populated. Otherwise, the user is returned to the main Search/Add Inventory page. If the user does not have the appropriate permission(s), a message appears for them to contact their system administrator.

If a 2d barcode is scanned and there is no GTIN found in product settings that matches, a message displays to inform the user that the barcode has not yet been configured in the system.
