I know we've had topics on this before but we're facing this again and I'm having issues finding past threads.
We had a safety initiative and brought in an expensive item. We are now building a remote ASC that will not be using them - they will be using the cheaper option. All Admins are adamant that the rest of the healthcare system not be allowed to use this item.
I know how to make it "difficult" for RQC to order an item, but I don't know anyway to stop it completely. Please add/correct my list:
Ways to Prevent an Item from RQC Orders:
1. Issue Account - if we give the IC11 record an account that only the ASC has, everyone else will get an error.
Challenge: RQC will allow users to change the account in item details.
2. Purchasing Major/Minor - if we give the item a major/minor code, the users will receive a popup error
Challenge: they will need to tell us every person who needs rights.
3. Inactivate at Ship To - If I add the item to every IC12 and inactivate it for all except the ASC, requesters will get an error
Challenge: the ASC is currently sharing a ship to so the other departments in it will have access.
Custom tables? I was thinking a Branch node that would look at the item number(s). The restricted numbers are listed in the branch. This would have to be maintained of course.
