If a preferred vendor has been configured in File Maintenance, the vendor's name appears by default.
To add or change the vendor for the order, click the Vendor field on the template and select the vendor.
If the vendor is unknown, you can select
To be determined.
Note: If you select To be determined, when you place the order, the application will select the Save to Module but Don't Send to Interface queue check box. The orders will be placed in the Orders module with the status of New and the Performing Entity column will remain blank. The Ask at Order Entry (AOE) functionality will not be available since the AOE questions require a performing entity.
If you select Labcorp or Quest and your practice has configured the patient service center (PSC) hold setting for these vendors on the Practice Configuration template, the application selects the Quest/Labcorp PSC Hold check box.
