The Consignment Tracking System allows consigned items to be tracked and accounted for in the OR, Pharmacy or other hospital department.  Each consigned item is individually assigned a unique bar code label so it may be identified while in inventory, when issued, or when returned, by a single bar code scan. Consignment items are tracked separately from “owned” items. 

The Consignment Tracking System includes an item database and label printing capabilities to laser print industry standard labels for item or shelf identification.  The item or shelf identification label is used to assist in scanning when the Consignment Bar Code label is unavailable or cannot be scanned.  The system also prints unique bar code labels for those items with a unique serial number so they can be easily tracked. The system includes robust Receipt, Issue, Return to Stock, Return to Vendor and Putaway functionality.

The system maintains a database of consignment items, including serial numbers, associated expiration dates and/or lot numbers (if entered).  Transactions may be recorded either using a portable bar code reader or a fixed bar code reader attached to a workstation.

The Consignment Tracking Module also includes Par Level management functions, including calculation of replenishment using par levels and issue/order quantities, including min/max calculations and usage analysis for reordering. 

Consignment Tracking can be interfaced to your to financials system to support automatic requisitioning of consignment items.  The new interface will create requisitions for subsequent order creation and placement by your financials system such as PeopleSoft, Lawson, Geac/Infor, Eclipsys to name a few.
