AAC Update • Mechanism for importing pricing data from McKesson into RPMS • Only updates Acquisition price • Updates price in Drug File and in another file in RPMS that makes the price available when updating drugs • Must have access to the report on McKesson account • Originally was called Amerisource Acquisition Cost (AAC) because that was the prime vendor at the time
AAC procedure • Generate report from McKesson and save it • If no access to the report, contact McKesson representative or call SMO Help Desk • Get file into the hands of site manager • Email • Save in shared folder • Site Manager will put file in “Pub” folder • Find out RPMS path to “Pub” folder
AAC procedure (cont) • Run the routine in RPMS to import prices • IHS Specific Pharmacy Options • Import Entries from AAC File • Need to enter path to Pub folder • Look at the error report • Fix Non-AWP errors • Consider running AWP Manual Update
McKesson Report • On the “Catalog” screen, “REPORTS” tab • Be sure to select correct account • First time, select “Retrieve Full Load” • Don’t include previous price • Don’t select any filters • Choose “RPMS Extract” • Sort doesn’t matter
The File • The file name should be smoextr******.csv (where ****** = date the file is generated). • If saving the file from the McKesson screen doesn’t seem to work, choose open then save the file with the recommended file name. • Get this file to the Site Manager for placement into the “Pub” folder. • Be sure to write down the “Path” to the “Pub” folder.
The file is in the Pub folder.
