Note: Purchase Order Uploads are a work in progress and we will slowly be adding features and options to make it more efficient as time progresses. (4/9/2018)

"Purchase Order Uploads" was built to allow pharmacists to do the quickest price comparison from a primary vendor or from an alternative platform, with EzriRx.com wholesalers pricing. Before you finalize an order each day, download the open "purchase order" and upload it onto EzriRx.com. We will display the price differentials and savings in a quick glance; you can then add products to your cart or make an offer for an even deeper discount. 

Each wholesaler has their own systems for printing or downloading Purchase Orders, some are more complex than others. Below we will detail the wholesalers available to us and show you how to download the proper file format for upload onto EzriRx.com. 

Important: EzriRx works with multiple file types, PDF, Excel and CSV documents. Every wholesaler allows you to download a different file type, so it's important to recognize the file type availability. If your wholesaler allows you to download an .xlx or csv, you can skip right to your wholesaler name below to continue. But if you need to download your file as a PDF, please follow along these steps. Before you begin, make sure you either have "Adobe Print to PDF" installed on your computer, or "Cute PDF Writer". Adobe Print to PDF comes along with a paid version of Adobe Acrobat, but Cute PDF Writer is free and available here. Once you have this installed, you will have a much easier time printing your open purchase orders to PDF. 

Once you have downloaded the proper file format to your computer, click on the 'Upload Purchase Order' button on the EzriRx.com navigation bar, select the wholesaler you are uploading the document/file from, it will tell you what file types are accepted and Press 'Upload'. Savings will instantly populate.

The ALL view, will have products that are cheaper, more expensive and that are not NDC specific. It will also have 3 results from each NDC. So the results will be plenty full. Use the filters to the left, to select:

A. NDC Specific - If you want to see just an equivalent of the NDC's you uploaded, select this option.
B. Show savings only - This will show you just the cheapest results.
C. Best Results only - this will only display 3 results for each product uploaded. 

Once the results are loaded, take a quick glance to see which Wholesaler wins the most results, since not always will it be wise to take the cheapest option. Even if the wholesaler has most of the products but is falling short on some prices, you will still have overall savings. From this page, you can either 'Add to cart' or 'Make an offer' to get an even bigger discount.
