Oh Yes! And the problem is getting worse. We've have a MIX request in for a couple of years. They are aware of the problem. The ANSI 850 standard allows for more than 15 characters. Especially since there is so much screen real estate involved as well as reports, It will be a major undertaking.

We have numerous vendors with catalog numbers longer than the allowed 15 characters. Meditech is telling us that we need to work something out with the vendor to accept truncated numbers. Since we are transmitting more and more EDI orders, that is not a viable solution in my opinion. How have you dealt with this problem? Have you asked Meditech for a custom? They told me that the vendor number shows up in 23 other places in the system, making a custom difficult. Have you considered using a CDS to accommodate the longer numbers? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris Blake Cass County Memorial Hospital Information Systems 1501 East 10th Street Atlantic, IA 50022 712-243-7550 ext.3607 fax: 712-243-7587 Notice: This e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521, is confidential and may be l egally privileged.
