Assign B2B Account Numbers to Your Ship-to Locations

You can use the new Import B2B Account utility to assign B2B account numbers to ship-to locations for each of your suppliers. These account numbers are included in the POs you send to your suppliers via the GHX service provider. Any required edits can be made using the B2B Account Numbers task.

In addition to this, the new version of the PO message definition for the GHX service provider also incorporates data elements for Bill Only special handling type POs.

The PO header elements are:

  • Physician Name
  • Reference Number
  • Date of Service

The PO line level elements are:

  • Lot
  • Serial Number

Partners can use the account number to identify the customer's ship-to location when they receive an order, thereby simplifying their order planning and fulfillment process.

Tips And Considerations

  • If you want to use B2B Account Numbers and you don’t use GHX as a service provider, you can modify the XSL for your outbound purchase orders to include B2B account numbers.
  • If you want to incorporate the special handling type POs, you can modify your PO XSL.
