Cindy - We are also 5.61, but and not eMAR or POM, but I haven't seen the pending function. Is there some kind of customer defined parameter that turns it on or off? Where do you see it and what does it look like. Charlie

I just started testing 5.6.1 and I am a little confused as this seems like it would be a very useful function, but it seems very cumbersome. Has anyone found a way to "turn off" the "enter order as PENDING" that pops up for every order? Has anyone found a faster way to remove a PEND status from an order other than the method I have had to use, which is: Perform an EDIT on the PENDING order, enter all the way down to the PENDING prompt, change the Y to a N and change comments. After removing the PEND, you have to VERIFY the order. It seems to me that there could be a shortcut function called RP (remove pending) when just the PEND prompt and comments box would pop up to be edited. It also seems to me that if an order was originally entered by a user able to enter verified orders and then a pending is removed by a user able to enter verified orders, it is redundant to go in and have to VERIFY the order again. Even without eMAR or POM in place this could be a very useful tool, except that removing the PEND status requires so many steps. I do hope I am missing something and that someone has a better method of working this function - if so, please let me know.
