    I know I my hospital, we have small cost centers that are in side by side rooms.  Room 1 is cost center 1.  Right next to it is cost center 2 in room 2.  If I have something ordered, and set for delivery to room 1, can I accidentally deliver it to room 2 in Lawson MSCM? 

    If I was not paying attention....  will Lawson allow me to misdeliver an item?  I scan the barcode on the delivery ticket, and deliver to the wrong cost center? It there something in MSCM to stop this type of scenario?

    Thanks!

        The answer is most likely going to be "no". MSCM doesn't stop you from making mistakes but it does track where you delivered it so you can find it again later.

        When you scan the barcode in delivery, it tells you where you are supposed to be in order to deliver it but that's as far as it goes in terms of stopping you from misdelivering it.

          Remembered to ask!

          So when you create the location barcode - you are essentially creating "users" that accept delivery called Room 1 and Room 2. There is nothing tying them to an actual requesting location.

          So it doesn't know Room 1 is a location to check for Room 2 instead - so no. Enhancement Request would have to be Deliver to LOCATION or mark Location or some such.
