Inventory Department Dictionary 

The Inventory Department dictionary is used to assign supply resources to specific departments such as Anesthesia or Extended Recovery Care. Users may assign items to departments to help track their use in the facility. The Inventory Department field is an optional field and is editable in the Item Master when the supply location information is added. Reports may be run using the Inventory Department as a group by or sort by option.
