Subject: PSA VERIFY INVOICES DELAY

Category: 
  - Routine

Description:
============

 This patch addresses the following issue:
  
 1) When verifying invoices using option PSA VERIFY INVOICES, and 
 selecting an invoice from the EDIT INVOICES TO BE VERIFIED SCREEN, a 
 delay occurs after "The invoice status has been changed to Verified!" 
 displays on the screen.   During the delay, invoice data is being filed 
 into the Drug File (File 50).  This process includes a delay command 
 resulting in a two second delay for each invoiced line item.   With 
 multiple line items, this delay becomes excessive. The delay command was 
 eliminated.
  
 Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview:
 --------------------------------------------
 1) INC8786346 - PSA VERIFY INVOICES New onset delay in process
  
 Problem:
 --------
 This option is used to verify invoices downloaded from the Prime Vendor 
 in the Pharmacy Drug Accountability package.  After installation of 
 PSS*1*236, a new lag/delay in completing this process was noticed.
  
 Resolution:
 ---------
 Patch PSS*1*236 modified the verification process to include a command to 
 delay one second.  This delay occurs twice for each invoiced line item.   
 With multiple line items, this delay became excessive. The delay 
 command was eliminated from tag ST of routine PSSPRICE.
  
 Test Sites:
 -----------
 Huntington VA Medical Center, Huntington, WV
 VA Heartland - East,  St.Louis MO

 Post-Installation Instructions:
 -------------------------------
 N/A
  
 Back-out/Rollback Strategy:
 -------------------------------
 Back-out will be done only with the concurrence and participation of
 development team and appropriate VA site/region personnel. The decision to
 back-out or rollback software will be a joint decision between development
 team, VA site/region personnel and other appropriate VA personnel.
  
 Prior to installing an updated KIDS package, the site/region should have
 saved a backup of the routines in a mail message using the Backup a
 Transport Global [XPD BACKUP] menu option (this is done at time of
 install). The message containing the backed-up routines can be loaded with
 the "Xtract PackMan" function at the Message Action prompt. The Packman
 function "INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE" is then used to install the backed up
 routines onto the VistA System.
  
 Validation of Roll Back Procedure
 ---------------------------------
 The Roll Back Procedure can be verified by printing the first 2 lines of
 the PSS Routines contained in this patch using the option First Line
 Routine Print [XU FIRST LINE PRINT]. Once the routines contained in the
 PSS*1.0*241 patch have been rolled back, the first two lines of the
 Routines will no longer contain the designation of patch PSS*1.0*241 in
 the patch list section on line 2.

Routine Information:
====================
