Vendor rep cheat sheet
Your daily loop: check the IVR queue, keep the product catalog current, respond to restock requests, track A/P status.
Start of day
| Task | Where |
|---|---|
| Check open IVR requests | Inventory Management → IVR Tracking |
| Review restock requests from facilities | Inventory Management → Main Inventory → filter by your brand |
| Verify no A/P invoices are past due | Inventory Management → Accounts Payable → Inbox / Disputes |
| Confirm vendor order forms are scoped to the correct facility | Orders / DME → vendor form selection |
⌘K / Ctrl+K opens Quick Jump — type a SKU, UIN, or facility name to navigate without the sidebar.
IVR queue — status reference
| Status | Meaning | Your action |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted | Facility initiated an IVR | Confirm product and lot details are correct |
| Pending | Awaiting payer or facility confirmation | Wait; follow up if > 24 h |
| Approved | IVR cleared | Prepare shipment or confirm allocation |
| Declined | Payer or facility rejected the request | Contact facility contact to resolve; log reason |
| Agreed | Both sides confirmed; order is live | Proceed to fulfillment |
Updating the product catalog
- Go to Inventory Management → Product Catalog.
- To add a product: click + Add Product → select Category → complete the category-specific form (biologics require HCPCS + manufacturer lot format).
- To edit an existing product: find the row by SKU or NAME → click Actions → Edit.
- Confirm STATUS is set to Active before saving; inactive products do not appear in facility ordering flows.
Responding to restock requests
| Step | Where |
|---|---|
| 1. Identify the low-PAR item | Main Inventory → items flagged below PAR level appear highlighted |
| 2. Confirm available lot and expiry | Active Inventory → columns: UIN · LOT # · EXP DATE · SIZE · HCPCS · SKU |
| 3. Submit or confirm a receiving upload | Inventory Management → Amniotic / Advance Treatment or Biologics / Matrix → Receiving |
| 4. Verify the upload moves to Active Inventory | Refresh Main Inventory — status should leave "Sent" and enter Active |
A/P status reference
Accounts Payable is a tabbed workspace: Inbox (new invoices) → Matching (reconcile lines) → Payments (full or partial) → Disputes, plus Activity and Reports. Invoices move through states like matched, approved, partially paid, paid, and disputed.
Target: no aging unpaid invoices. Watch the Disputes tab for anything a facility has flagged, and follow up with your account manager. See Accounts Payable.
Facility-scoped forms
Custom vendor forms are visible only to the facility that created them. If a form you expected to see is absent:
- Confirm the facility context in the header pill matches the facility that owns the form.
- If the form was created in a different facility, request the facility admin to duplicate it for the current facility.
Shortcuts
| Task | Shortcut |

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| IVR stays in Pending > 24 h | Payer delay or missing lot detail | Call payer; confirm lot/UIN with facility |
| Product not visible in facility ordering | Status set to Inactive | Product Catalog → find SKU → Edit → set Status: Active |
| Receiving upload stuck in Sent | Approval step not completed by facility | Ping facility admin in Team Chat with UIN and lot number |
| Custom form visible to wrong facility | Form not scoped correctly (pre-April 2026 forms) | Ask facility admin to delete and recreate the form after the MED-1665 fix |
| A/P invoice shows Disputed | Amount or line-item mismatch | Contact your facility account manager directly; document resolution in Activity notes |
