Managing Disease Response Inventory
This task is a step in Process of Managing Public Health Cases. Inventory locations are used to identify where products are stored and the source from which the product is fulfilled. Public Health professionals add inventory locations and then manage the inventory at each location to increase efficiency when responding to a public health crisis. Health professionals use the inventory transactions screen to move inventory such as vaccines and medical equipment from one location to another. For more information on setting up locations, see Defining Locations. For information on managing inventory, inventory transactions and locations, see Siebel Field Service Guide.
