Have you tried removing all inventories from the PHA location and instead setting up your inventories at the cart level? Your MAIN inventory should be defined for each drug otherwise this approach will cause issues. I think there is a Site hierarchy that you may be able to use as well or CDP for your default inventory. I had all drugs defaulted with the inventory of MAIN so I had no issues. For UD, I have set the cart inventory to the dispensing machine inventory. We are 100% Pyxis profile and I noticed that during transfer that the inventory changes to the Dispensing Machine inventory on the patient order if the order type is MED. I left the IV Cart Inventory to MAIN and this works fine. I'm not sure if there is any impact on UD cart fill. We are not using MM management either. In this scenario, Pyxis will need to map each of the rooms to the Pyxis unit in question. It works really well so I tell this to everyone who still struggles with the requiring a rule to change inventory problem. You don't have to worry about this!! Long story short, you can set up your dispensing machine inventories to match your cart; hence the inventory is brought down to the room level. If you want to carve those patients out in your Pyxis units, Pyxis will need to build a table to send those patients to the proper Pyxis for those unit 2 Pyxis 1 MIS location areas. Hope this helps.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== John, We have 2 Pyxii (more than one Pyxis?) on two of our floors. The stock in each does not match and all the patients on the floor show up on each machine as configured now. We currently have these set up at the cart level in MAGIG 5.4SR3. This means that 1/2 of the time the pharmacist must change the inventory since MT defaults in the first inventory in the list. On drugs in both machines everything still works fine if they forget. We haven't built any rules to stop it. To make it work correctly, these machines need to be set up at the next level up (Location). There are messages in the archive. Search for my name. Then the inventories will default in correctly. It was determined that it would take to much $$$$ to make those changes here so we haven't done it. Make sure you do an archive search. This was discussed in the last 6 months. Jeff Thompson, R.Ph.
