Copy Contract Budgets to Next Year (7.20.16.9)
Adding budgets each year can be a time-consuming task. This program
copies budgets in the same structures from one year to another. It assumes
that the budget codes begin with the two-digit financial year.
Distributors reporting data use their own codes or other industry standard
codes to represent their customers. In all cases, codes are used because
relying on a facility name does not ensure a unique identification; for
example, St. Mary’s Hospital is the name of more than 20 different
hospitals in the US.
APM Medical lets you maintain these alternative references, such as HIN,
DEA, or the distributor’s own customer number for the facility. These
alternate references are used to facilitate EDI processing of chargeback
and sales trace transactions.
Use insert to enter details of the link code, relationship type, effective
dates, and address for the customer link. The corporate customer ID is
used to distinguish between the use of a code by one distributor chain and
the use of the same code by a different distributor chain.
