  9. When you are done marking device statuses click “Mark as Used” to add the items to the Devices Used section of the Event
  10. Modify an item’s usage status, price, etc. in the Devices Used tab by clicking on the pencil icon to edit the item.

Note: If an item is marked implanted, damaged, and explanted it cannot be marked as reusable and will be decremented from your inventory at the closing of the Event. 

NOTE: If cell or internet service is not available consider using Offline Mode to download the Event Data before going into the case while you still have a connection. The ultimate plan B in the event of unforeseen circumstances is to use paper to record device use, and input the data into one of the applications at a later time. Consider using our AI enabled label/bill sheet upload to record used inventory.

Making Adjustments to the Sales Order

  2. Click on the arrow of each row to expand the catalog # section and view each individual device.

  5. Make any adjustments needed and click Save.
    1. Note: The allowed adjustments to used items may be limited by organization settings. If you have questions about your organization settings or allowed item modifications, follow up with your organization admin.

Adding Non-Inventory Charges in Beacon

In some cases it may be necessary or advantageous to add items, charges, fees, discounts, etc. to a sales order that are not technically inventory items.

  2. Click on the Devices Used tab of the Event Detail Screen.

  3. Next, scroll down the page until you see the “Additional cost or adjustments” section.

  4. Then click on the “+” button next to the "Additional Cost or Adjustment" header.

  5. Enter a description and price for your adjustment in the fields when prompted (It can even be a negative number). 

  6. Click “Save” and your adjustment will be added to the sales order!

 

The next step after recording your sales is to generate the sales order and send it to the facility.
