Ordering options

Nothing even similar. Would you want the reqs approved or just endlessly in needs approval?

I think you might actually want a pick ticket - that might export to csv easier and be more readable for your pharmacy system. Then you would need WH110 WH130 and WH132s to run daily and magically ship everything, closing the reqs behind them.

Otherwise, upgrades are going to be filled with "gotchas" as all those open reqs come back to haunt you.

Something we do in Sterile Processing may work for you. We have an unofficial inventory in SPD for certain items that are ordered by departments at our smaller hospitals. The items are ordered via RQC, RQ10 or the handhelds with SPD as the source. I have WH130 running q 15 minutes. The SPD clerk that monitors the printer for orders has to finish the shipment in WH32. I monitor SOH levels weekly and adjust in quantities as needed crediting SPD in the process. Prior to this SPD would get a call from the departments and they would track the orders in a spreadsheet and sent that to accounting to do journal entries. Now the charges post when IC130 runs at night.

Since this is just informational for your Pharmacy staff, what I'm thinking you could do is add a new location in IC02 for the Pharmacy and create an unofficial inventory for pharmacy items that will be ordered via RQC, but add the items to IC12 as no charge. Being that the inventory value will be $0 you can add large quantities so you don't have to monitor SOH as frequently and it won't affect the GL. Set up a company template for the pharmacy items, or a location/requester template if you only want certain department/users to be able to order. Schedule WH130 to run q 15 minutes and set pik3-prt to print in the Pharmacy. Schedule WH132 (ship) and WH190 (release) nightly and the reqs will close.

Thank you, so you both seem to feel the picks/WH130 would be the way to go. I also am thinking about having a process notification message triggered per the requesting location or some other trigger, so it would keep it at the requisition status. But Kate has a point about the open reqs.
Ill definitely look at the pick option, but would like to keep it from having to create a 'fake' inventory but I see how it is needed to make the pick scenario work. Would create the pharmacy as a vendor and then send them a purchase order, but then have the open po's to deal with, or could run a auto job to close these out???

If you went the Pharmacy as a vendor route I'd still make sure the items were set up as no charge. Someone would have to receive these and that would close the lines. The PO would close when PO190 is run (we run this at month end). But now your involving AP and you might have to get approval from Accounting to add a vendor that's not truly a vendor. The pick list solution keeps the process within MM.
