Assumptions About POU Supplier System Integration

The POU supplier system integration works as designed only if you understand the following assumptions and your system complies with them:

• Because patient usage is recorded in the POU supplier system and not in PeopleSoft Inventory, the material usage and reconciliation feature in PeopleSoft Inventory should not be used.

  Any reconciliation procedures must be handled by the POU supplier system.

• If you use POU supplier systems in some locations and PeopleSoft Inventory par locations in others, and if you plan to use the consumer usage feature, you need to set up two feeds to the admission, discharge, and transfers and patient billing systems: one from PeopleSoft and one from the POU supplier system.

• If a POU supplier is reconfigured, for example, if bins are removed, added, or moved, the physical reconfiguration of the POU supplier needs to occur first, followed by the manual online maintenance of the par location in PeopleSoft Inventory.

  The Par Location EIP transactions are then published to update the supplier accordingly.

• All par locations, whether integrated with a POU supplier system or not, are replenished using the PeopleSoft Inventory Create Par Replenishment Requests process (INPGCDMD).
