"Either supplied" means "could be supplied by the EMR"?

It could be an auto-incrementing number from a GNUmed EMR billed_item table and 
if it is possible that could collide / conflict with numbers inside LSMB then 
maybe upon transfer into LSMB the string "GM" or "EMR could be appended for 
example

        GM.1
or      GM.0000001

OTOH it is possible that in LSMB multiple billables (say, as line items) might 
get combined into a single invoice, designated by a number/reference that 
surely LSMB must generate?
