|
This tab section includes order workflow settings and organization/facility custom vaccine selection settings. Enter or update the settings as needed and click Save.
| Setting | Description |
Order Workflow Settings |
|
| Allow Only One Brand Selection per Vaccine | Select this option to require users to select only one brand per vaccine for the registry. This option can also be set at the Organization (IRMS)/Facility level in IWeb, which overrides this setting. |
| Direct Ship Maximum Total Order Value (per Ordering Intention) | To set a maximum total order value that applies to all direct ship order items within a single order set, enter the amount here. If a user's order has a total value that is equal to or above this amount, a warning appears: Order Exceeds Direct Shipping Limit (with details included). |
| Display Accountability Report Links on Order | Select this option to enable the Accountability reports to
appear on the Approve Orders page. The following report links
appear when this option is enabled:
|
| Enable Editing of Contact Name on the Order Screens | Select this option to allow users to edit the contract name on the Order pages. |
| Hide Recommended Quantity | Select this option to prevent the Recommended Quantity column from appearing in vaccine management (Create Order and Approve Order). This may assist in slow response times by increasing performance. |
| Order Threshold Percent | Enter a numeric value to represent the order threshold percentage. This defines the percentage that differs from the order quantity and the recommended quantity before an approval warning is generated. For example, if the recommended quantity is 100 and the threshold percent is 10, an order of 105 does not need special approval, but one for 115 does. |
| Ordering Frequency | Select the provider's ordering frequency and timing from the drop-down list. Examples:
If the organization/facility does not have an ordering frequency set in IWeb, the ordering frequency is derived from this registry setting. If there is an organization/facility setting, it overrides this registry setting. If the provider orders more frequently than their configured ordering frequency, when the user clicks Submit, a dialog box appears with a message. |
| Require Cold Chain Reporting Before Ordering | Select this option to require the user to complete the cold chain reporting before creating a new order when there are empty field values for temperature(s) between the date of the order and the last day of the ordering frequency or the last order submitted date, whichever is earlier. For example:
If this option and the Require Inventory Reconciliation before Ordering option are both enabled, cold chain reporting is required first, and then inventory reconciliation. Based on this option, there is no need to have an exception reason for no cold chain reporting because all users are forced to report. Either a temperature is required for each cold storage unit, or the option must be enabled that the facility is closed before an order can be placed. The time of the temperature recording can be different for each cold storage unit, but can only vary by just a few minutes. The following are acceptable temperature ranges:
Any temperature entered outside of this range is considered as too warm or too cold. Temperature range is validated when the cursor moves from each textbox. After entering all temperatures and clicking Save, a warning message displays if any temperature entry is out of range. However, the temperatures are saved. An error message is also displayed on the Create Order page if any temperature textboxes are left blank. Note that the required field validation and error message appear only when this option is enabled. |
| Require Correct Decrementing before Reconciliation | Select this option to require the user to correct decrementing before placing an order. |
| Require Inventory Reconciliation Before Ordering | Select this option to require a physical inventory before placing an order. The user is required to complete the inventory reconciliation before being allowed to start the order. This option works with the Days Required Between Physical Inventory option and requires reconciliation if the days since the last reconciliation exceeds the days defined. If this option and the Require Cold Chain Reporting option are both enabled, cold chain reporting is required first, and then inventory reconciliation. |
| Show Additional Shipping Times | Select this option to show additional shipping times to allow for closure during lunch hours. See Delivery Hours. When this option is not enabled, only one set of open and close times is available for configuration each day. |
Organization/Facility Custom Vaccine Selection Settings |

See Vaccine Selection for more information. If the Enable Custom Order Set for PIN Range options include PINS for a specific organization/facility and the Enable Custom Order Set for Date Range is set for today's date, the Vaccine Selection is Now Available message appears in the Action Items list for that organization/facility. |
