Items managed in Inventory Ally

After team members add managed items to the Want List:

  1. Open the Want List tab to see requested items.

  2. As an Administrator or Hospital Administrator, review the request before adding it to your order.

  3. Review the request details:

    • Who made the request

    • When it was made

    • How much of which product

    • A notice on the current order quantity

  4. Click Click here to adjust to approve and add the item to your order list.

  5. After approving, you will see your to-order quantity adjusted with a note.

    • If you need to remove the item after approving, set the to-order quantity to 0.

Items not managed in Inventory Ally

Manually added one-off items can be reviewed from notifications and then tracked in the Want List.

  1. As an Administrator or Hospital Administrator, click the bell icon to view notifications.

    • Items that may have been manually added will also appear here, which can help you identify and review them.

  2. You can acknowledge or dismiss the notification.

    • If acknowledged, you will see the status change from unprocessed to This Week.

    • Click Dismiss to clear the historic request.

    • Once the order history for these items is uploaded, they will transition to the managed inventory list.
