If the organization/facility has the Allow online orders option enabled in IWeb, authorized users can create new orders from the Orders and Transfers page. Depending on an organization/facility's configuration settings, however, users may be required to update cold chain reporting, correct decrementing, and/or reconcile inventory before creating a new order. To skip the cold chain documentation and inventory reconciliation steps, click the Skip button located at the bottom of the page.
To create a new order, navigate to Orders & Returns > Orders & Transfers and click the New Order button on the Orders and Transfers page. The Create New Order page opens and the required workflow steps are displayed at the top of the page. The current step pulsates in blue to help identify the user's progress in creating and submitting a new order. For example, if the user is required to reconcile inventory, Reconcile Inventory may be the first step in the workflow.
If the Administration > Properties > Vaccine Management > Display Accountability Report Links on Order option is enabled (selected) in IWeb, an Inventory Report Links section appears near the top of the Create Order page in VOMS. Click a listed report name to open that report's parameters page in IWeb, to generate the report.
| NOTE: If the Allow Only One Brand Selection per Vaccine option is selected for the facility in IWeb, providers are restricted from selecting multiple brands for the same vaccine in an order set. This allows for improved documentation accuracy. |
The first main step in the actual ordering process is to select which order set to use. Select the order set from the drop-down list (if there is only one order set, there may not be a drop-down list). The page refreshes to show the vaccine lots available in that order set, along with inventory report links (click on a link to set the report parameters and run that report). On the Create New Order page, edit the order fields as necessary, select any options, enter any comments, and click Next to continue to the next step.
