Setup Functions for Service Ordering
In order to be able to use service ordering, you must make the necessary settings in Customizing for service processing.
Note
In order to setup service ordering, you mainly use the same Customizing activities as for the clinical order.
Caution
Due to a misunderstanding between the nurse and the physician an unauthorized service ordering order has been executed.
This means that procedures which require a justifying indication were executed but not authorized.
The status concept with corresponding authorization checks is available to ensure that service ordering orders are only released for execution by authorized members of staff.
In order to be able to use service ordering, you must create corresponding services in the service range of the relevant organizational unit (OU). You call the function for creating a service range from the SAP Easy Access screen via . It does not matter whether you add the service to the service range directly or indirectly via a superordinate group service. You must flag every service which you wish to order as requestable.
You can find information on this under Service Range.
