Vacman 3.0 File Updates:

To insure that your orders process and update correctly, please ask your IT staff to follow these instructions:

1. Delete all of your “bak” files. This can be done through a command prompt or Windows Explorer window as follows:

Command Prompt instructions:

1. Create a backup of VACMAN 3.0 data.
2. Click Start.
3. Click Run.
4. Type  CMD  and press the <Enter> key.
5. Go to the Vacman 3.0 data directory. (This differs for each project.)
6. Once in the Vacman data directory, type    DEL *BAK.*   and press the <Enter> key.

Windows Explorer instructions:

VACMAN 3.0 Inventory on Hand Report:

The “Inventory on Hand” report may produce asterisks in the Doses Per Package column. This is because some inventory records receive a 0 (zero) during conversion from VACMAN 2.63 to VACMAN 3.0, in order to balance the Stock and Lot Tables. After conversion, the report produces asterisks because Doses Per Package cannot be divided by 0. To resolve this issue:

1. Look up the Lot Number on the CDC Inventory screen.
2. Change the value of Doses Per Package from 0 to 1
3. Save the record.
4. Go to the Utilities tab, Data Doctor screen, and check the Inventory Recalculate box.
5. Click Continue to save the change you made.

If you have questions or need assistance, contact the VACMAN Help Desk at (404) 639-8303.
