Report: Inventory Daily Bulk Activity Summary
(Topic Last Updated On: 05/05/2010)
This report displays the totals of the Inventory Daily Bulk Activity report for each date over a selected date range, providing a detailed summary accounting for all bulk inventory milligrams, including dispensing and all non-dispensing activity. This report is used when searching for the source of inventory discrepancies with the computer caused by data entry errors, often at the time a facility is being audited. It is an excellent report for viewing inventory transaction totals over extended date ranges.
Totals For (Date)
This column displays each date included in the selected date range on which bulk inventory activity was recorded in Methasoft.
Starting mgs.
This column displays the total amount of starting mgs contained in all bulk bottles with activity for each date.
Received mgs.
This column displays the total amount of mgs received in all bulk bottles with activity for each date.
Subtract mgs.
This column displays the total amount of mgs subtracted from all bulk bottles with activity for each date. This includes any mgs reconciled on the Reconcile Bulk Inventory screen using the 'Subtract' Reconcile Action.
Transfer In mgs.
This column displays the total amount of mgs transferred into all bulk bottles with activity for each date. This includes any mgs transferred in at the time bulk bottles are switched on the Switch Bulk Bottles screen, transfers made on the Transfer Bulk Inventory screen, and 'Return to Bulk' transactions made on the Reconcile Units screen.
Transfer Out mgs.
This column displays the total amount of mgs transferred out of all bulk bottles with activity for each date. This includes any mgs transferred out at the time bulk bottles are switched on the Switch Bulk Bottles screen, transfers made on the Transfer Bulk Inventory screen, and creating or modifying unit doses on the Add Units from Bulk, Prepare Daily Pour, and/or Add to Existing Units screens.
Window Doses
This column displays the total amount of mgs dispensed to patients at the dosing window from all bulk bottles with activity for each date. These mgs are recorded at the time each patient is dosed on the Dose Patient screen.
Takeout Doses
This column displays the total amount of mgs dispensed for patient takehomes from all bulk bottles with activity for each date. These mgs are recorded at the time each patient is dosed on the Dose Patient screen.
Undo Doses
This column displays the total amount of mgs transferred back into all bulk bottles with activity for each date, following Undo Dose transactions. Mgs will be added to this column for every Undo Dose transaction, regardless of whether or not the patient is re-dosed correctly. For example, a patient on 100 mgs with no takeouts is dosed, then the dose is undone and later re-recorded. 200 mgs will appear in the Window Doses column for this patient, and 100 will appear in this column.
Waste/Spill
This column displays the total amount of mgs wasted or spilled from all bulk bottles with activity for each date. This includes any mgs reconciled on the Reconcile Bulk Inventory screen using the 'Record Spill' and/or 'Record Waste' Reconcile Actions.
Reconcile In mgs.
This column displays the total amount of mgs reconciled into all bulk bottles with activity for each date. This includes any mgs reconciled on the Reconcile Bulk Inventory screen using the 'Add' Reconcile Action.
Reconcile Out mgs.
This column displays the total amount of mgs reconciled out of all bulk bottles with activity for each date. This includes any mgs reconciled on the Reconcile Bulk Inventory screen using the 'Destruction', 'Return to Manufacturer', 'Return to Patient', and/or 'Subtract' Reconcile Actions.
Bottle Difference
This column displays the net total amount of mgs reconciled out or into all bulk bottles with activity for each date, at the time bottles were switched on the Switch Bulk Bottles screen. This value is significant for liquid medication, as bottle differences are expected between the actual physical mg amount received and each's new bottle amount entered in the system. Also included are any mgs reconciled on the Reconcile Bulk Inventory screen using the 'Bottle Overage' and/or 'Bottle Shortage' Reconcile Actions.
Ending mgs.
This column displays the total amount of mgs contained in all bulk bottles with activity for each date, following all displayed activity and based on each date's Starting mgs total.
