How can I sell inventory to a facility for them to use as needed (vs. selling on-site in a surgical case)? 

This allows you to sell inventory up-front, but track its consumption when it is used in a case.

Context

  • The first step is the direct sale, which is done by creating a Stocking Order and occurs after the provider requests or orders inventory from the manufacturer.
  • This first step will “sell” the inventory to the facility and render it no longer sellable, but allow it to remain as Facility Stock.
  • Typically this step will be executed by a Manufacturer Admin user, but it can also be done by distributor or sales user. 
  • IMPORTANT: You must assign the user receiving the commission as the representative on the Stocking Order, which means the sold inventory must also be in their custody.
