Residents with an Ordering Not Required (ONR) special diet or texture in their diet order do not appear in Unfed Residents or Meal Orders.
Residents assigned to an Ordering Not Required (ONR) unit do not appear in Unfed Residents or Meal Orders unless they are assigned to a dining area for the selected meal.
The main choice menu item is excluded on Auto Suggesting if the resident has the same item as a standing order, or if the resident has a standing order for an alternate to the main choice. For example:
- The main choice item is Coffee and the resident has a standing order for Coffee. Only 1 Coffee is added to the order.
- Tea is the alternate to the main choice item of Coffee. The resident has a standing order for Tea. Only Tea is added to the order, Coffee is excluded.
