Billing Only - Case Information

Legacy Contributor

We used the Drop Ship field in RQ10 that Surgery uses to enter the Case number, Dr, Surgery Date and anything else to identify this paticular requistion to a Case. If we left the PO as a Drop Ship there would be no problem but we like to "receive" these PO's so the cost information is updated and flows to the Charge Master which we use last received cost.

A recent patch has change the system so that as soon as we remove the Drop ship flag the address information is replaced with the address on the IC02.

We would like to hear from others about their procedure for building Billing only PO's. We are going to have to change our procedures and would like ideas on best practices. Our idea right now is for the Surgery Department to use One Document to a Single PO and put the case information in PO Header Comments. It does not show as nicely as using the Drop Ship Address Field and are concerned that the vendor may ship new goods.

Thanks

We have the 1 patient per PO rule in place now & add case information in PO Header comments. All of our Bill Only PO's are emailed or faxed to the sales reps to ensure vendors do not ship new goods. Drop ship fields are handled in PO20 (our modified RQ10 had the drop ship tab hidden). We do not process receipts for these; we use the packing slips to verify, so the 2-way match of PO to invoice closes the lines.
