What is a UOM discrepancy and how is it resolved? [Facility]

What a UOM (unit of measure) discrepancy is, why it affects pricing on a delivery order, and how it gets resolved.

A unit of measure discrepancy means there's a mismatch between how an item is configured in Helia and how your facility expects it to be priced — for example, an item loaded as a box but your facility needs it priced per individual unit.

UOM configuration in Helia is based on how the supplier defines their product. Because of this, resolving a UOM discrepancy isn't always a straightforward fix — it may require alignment between your health system's contracting team, the supplier, and Helia before a resolution can be reached.

If you're seeing a UOM discrepancy on a case you're reviewing:

Reject the case back to the rep with a comment describing the issue so it doesn't move forward at incorrect pricing. Then submit a ticket by clicking the chat icon in the bottom right corner, include:

  • The item number

  • The DO#

  • A description of the discrepancy (e.g., "Item 12345 is loading as a box but should be priced per unit")

Our team will investigate and work with the appropriate parties to find a resolution. We'll follow up with next steps once we have clarity.

Note: If you're directing a rep to a UOM issue on their end, they can reference There's a unit of measure (UOM) issue on my case. What do I do? for guidance.
