When creating a new order in AMSHub, you’ll see a Create Manual Order button. The manual order feature is for very specific cases where you have items hand-delivered to your facility. This is most common in ASCs where a surgical rep will bring in a collection of items for use in a case that day. Using manual order, you can quickly scan all items and AMSHub will build and deliver an order, add all items to your inventory, generate a PO that you can provide the rep for invoice reconciliation purposes, and have you ready to attach these items to a procedure. You also have the ability to input a custom PO (even if you aren’t using our Custom PO feature) to more easily identify the order or to match the PO on a rep’s manual purchase order.
Auto-save is in place for the Manual Order so the system will automatically save the progress once you start adding items. If you get called away or interrupted, you can return later to complete the order at a later time.
The full barcode is best but you can use the item reference number, since the specific item details for each item will be required to deliver the item into inventory. As such, it is best to have the actual items so you can scan their barcodes and AMSHub can capture the required data. However, if you can’t do that, you can enter the items reference number. This process is better if done post-operatively to ensure you only scan into the system those items used in the case. In some cases things change during the procedure so this would save you having to go back in and make changes. In this case, you would use manual order to add all items prior to going to Procedures to add the case details into AMSHub.
