GRITS Manage Orders Training Overview: Inventory and Manage
Orders Functions05/08/2014
The following slides include information from the manage orders module video as well as notes and step by step instructions to help you complete the mange orders process.
You will receive step by step instructions for accepting vaccine transfers in a separate document.
• The manage orders function will be phased into use by groups of providers to avoid the transition of over 1200 providers at once
• VFC will contact providers with their “go live” date• Providers will have 30 days to prepare for reporting using the
new function• GRITS, VFC staff and IPC staff will be available to assist with
questions that come up during the ordering process• As a reminder, you will receive a Frequently Asked Questions
Document and revised step by step instructions as I continue to try to simplify the process
Important Changes to Remember
• Manual reporters using the Excel report will be required to manually enter their inventory data into GRITS and must submit an emailed copy of their doses administered data to VFC at [email protected]
• Providers managing inventory via GRITS will continue to generate a Monthly Comprehensive Report. The Manage Orders function is a newly added step which allows you to place your order online.
Important!
• All providers must select vaccine preferences prior to using the manage orders function
• Selections must include all vaccines, including Polio, MMR, PCV13, MMR-V, and VAR
• Only vaccines selected as preferences will be available for ordering from the manage orders screen
• If you move on to the manage orders function prior to selecting preferences, then you will have to cancel your order and return to the Manage Inventory screen to select preferences to complete the order process correctly.
