The MAT Reconciliations report summarizes all transactions related to a specific medication and dose strength for the selected time range. Many facilities use this report to review daily inventory at the start and end of the day. In addition, it can be used to review inventory at a specific time, such as when requested by compliance agencies like the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Required Permissions: Super Admin, Records Admin, and users with the Manage Medication Inventory feature can create this report.

Reviewing the MAT Reconciliation Report
Total Inventory Summary Section
This section provides detailed information on all activities, including facility information, reports, inventory, metrics like overage and shortage, and bottle actions and variances.
Let's break down each section.
|
The first section displays Medication information, Facility Location, Report Type, report period Start and End Date/Time selected, and previous closing inventory. It’s important that the Previous Closing Inventory amount equals the Opening Inventory amount, or the variance calculations will be impacted. If these amounts do not match, please follow the instructions below in the Open Bottles Details section on how to review and reconcile transactions from the Medication Inventory page. Note: When using MAT Reconciliation, the Previous Closing Inventory will look at the entry from the most recent report of the same type. |

The second section contains the following fields:

|
The final section provides detailed information on the bottles received, opened, and closed, plus variances during the time frame selected in the report. The system will display overage variance, shortage variance, and total variance based on the opening Inventory, Total Activity, and Closing Inventory at the date and time selected on the report. |
The system will display overage variance, shortage variance, and total variance based on the opening inventory, total activity, and closing inventory at the date and time selected on the report.
- The total activity should equal the total of all activity recorded.
- Closing inventory should equal opening inventory minus total activity, plus any quantity received.
- The Notes section will display any notes entered at the time the report was created.
Open Bottle Details Section
The Open Bottle Details section provides individual information on all bottles that have been opened in the location for the selected time range. This section details all the transactions completed for each bottle, allowing you to review any overage or shortage variance found in a particular bottle.
Each row displays the transactions that occurred on a specific bottle. To locate a variance discrepancy in a bottle, click on the individual bottle link.
The Medication Inventory page for this bottle opens, allowing you to review the bottle detail transactions and evaluate where the variance is coming from during the specified period selected in the report.
- The top section includes medication name, serial number, quantity remaining, route, dosage, strength, NDC number, lot number, expiration date, location, and the staff member who opened the bottle.
- The action buttons allow staff members to add transactions, reconcile, transfer, and manually dispense medication.
- The Bottle Transaction Details section allows users to review each transaction completed in a bottle by clicking on the transaction link.
- From the individual transaction, you can review the transaction details including the quantity dispensed and related dates.
