Handheld Processing (IC588)

Run Handheld Processing (IC588) to process data files uploaded from the handheld terminal. The program directs par count and pick information to RQ500 (Requisition Interface), issues and returns information to IC500 (Transaction Interface), and patient charge information to PC540 (Patient Charge Upload).

More Information

You can start this program in three ways. You can submit it as a standard batch job. Alternatively, you can start it by using IC89.1 (Handheld Start - Stop of IC588) or IC289 (Batch Handheld Start - Stop of IC588). You must use IC89.1 or IC289 to stop this program, which remains active until stopped.

Before you run this program, set up your handheld terminal software.

In addition, before you run IC588, set up jobs in IC500 (Transaction Interface), PC540 (Patient Charge Upload), and RQ500 (Requisition Interface) for handheld processing.

Before and after you start IC588, collect inventory par count and pick data, department issues and returns data, and patient charge data as a part of your daily processing and upload the data as needed.

This program produces a log file that you can view from the handheld desktop program.
