The General Details screen appears for that supplier Order Set.

Example:

General

The dialling location will always be the Default unless you enter more than one. The Transmission type and When options are set when the Order Set is first created. You can amend the various options here.

MDS Order set   

If you have enabled separate ordering, you can stipulate whether or not this order set is for MDS dispensing on this terminal.

  • Check MDS order set if you want to use this terminal/order for MDS dispensing.

  • Uncheck MDS order set if it has already been selected and you do not you want to use this terminal/order for MDS dispensing.

See Enabling separate MDS orders.

 

This option will only appear if the separate ordering feature is enabled.

 

Run in background - confirm before sending

This means that the order will transmit in the background whilst other parts of the program are running - you don't need to order manually each time.

  • Select the transmission type and tick the option to run in background if you wish.

  • Check Confirm before sending if you want to be notified before the order is sent.

  • Click on Apply, and then click on When to define how often you wish to transmit this order set e.g. Daily, Weekly etc.

  • Click on the New button to enter times of transmissions, then click Apply and then Close.

Send automatically without confirming

In this case, the system will send the order without you having checked it first. You will still see the transmission failed/ successful and be able to print results if required, but the order transmission will take place at the time specified.

  • In this case, leave unchecked Confirm before sending, and set a transmission time.

When

You can set the transmission time for orders on this order set. Also you can set it as a reminder of when to produce a fax order, printed order etc.

  • Use & (or click on the When button) and follow the instructions.

  See Schedule creation for more detail.

Manual orders  

You can prevent your staff from manually placing orders on selected suppliers. The aim is to prevent leakage onto order sets where an alternative supplier is the first preference.

  • If you want to permit manual orders being appended to a particular order set, leave checked Manual ordering allowed.

  • If you want to prevent manual orders being appended to a particular order set, uncheck Manual ordering allowed.

Order type

This option indicates the order type that was shown when the order set was created i.e. Ethical, OTC or Either. If an order is specified as Ethical for example, and an item or items from the OTC order list are appended, an alert appears

Order note

This facility provides the facility to attach a note to an order prior to transmitting, subject to the order transmission protocol accommodating notes.

The intention is that it can easily be a different note for each order. This is a not the same as the order note outlined here. This one is intended as a permanent note which will be sent with each order as outlined.

 

Only one order note can be transmitted. If both order notes are appended to an order for transmitting, this order note takes precedence, overriding the other instance.

 

Change Order Set Name

You can amend the order set name here in this screen if required.

See Sending the Order.
