GHX supports the outbound PO message GHX-OAGIS-10.1-Purchase-Order-Collaboration-Message-Out V2. For details on how the data is mapped in this message or a sample payload, you can download the XSL file and review the data mapping.

B2B account numbers are included in the POs sent to your suppliers. For more information on how to set up B2B account numbers refer to Overview

This message is sent as an XML file via web services by default. It supports purchase orders with a special handling type of Bill Only. You can send these Bill Only purchase orders in a couple of ways:

1. Send Your Purchase Orders as an XML Message

Bill Only purchase orders include the following additional data:

PO header level data:

  • Physician Name
  • Reference Number
  • Date of Service

PO line level data:

  • Lot Number
  • Serial Number

2. Send your Purchase Orders Directly to your Suppliers as PDF by Email

A PDF PO may be sent directly to your suppliers by email based on the following criteria:
  • Purchase orders with a special handling type of Bill Only.
  • A trading partner value of False or a trading partner that doesn't exist in the DVM with the name ELECTRONIC_CONSIGNMENT_ORDER_SUPPLIERS.

The subject line for the email with the PO PDF is generated as follows: ORA_PO_BILL_ONLY Purchase Order PO#

For example, ORA_PO_BILL_ONLY Purchase Order 1024.

If you want to send your Bill Only orders directly to your suppliers, you need to create a DVM and populate it as follows:
    1. Create a DVM with the name ELECTRONIC_CONSIGNMENT_ORDER_SUPPLIERS.

    2. List the trading partners in that DVM that you don't want to send a PO PDF by email to for Bill Only orders.

      The trading partner qualifier in the DVM needs to be set to a concatenation of Trading Partner ID and ID Type. For example, if the trading partner ID is ABC and the trading partner ID type is Generic and you don't want to send a PO PDF to that trading partner for Bill Only orders, you need to have the following information in the DVM:

    DVM Name (Qualifier, Order-2) Fusion Value Trading Partner (Qualifier, Order-1) Trading Partner Value
    ELECTRONIC_CONSIGNMENT_ORDER_SUPPLIERS NA ABC-Generic true

Attachments for the PO PDF

If the message is modified to send a PO PDF, only the PO PDF is sent by default. This is controlled by the variable PassAllAttachments which is set to False and may be modified further to include all of the attachments.
