Dispensary Ordering - Adding a Supplier Note

Supplier notes can be set up to remind staff of medicine details or specifics about ordering from wholesalers.

Example: When a wholesaler advises that a medicine is only available as short-dated stock, and returns of it will not be accepted, a message in a new order to check the medicine's Usage and Med Log may be useful, as well as putting a note on the medicine itself.

Set-Up

From the main menu, go to:

• 2. Stock control then 3. Edit supplier and select the required wholesaler.
• Enter the desired reminder text in the Notes field.
• Tick Prompt and press F12 Accept Details.

Result

When a new order is created for this supplier (wholesaler), i.e. pressing F12 Accept on the Order Type screen, triggers the display of the message that has been set up:

Once this is cleared by pressing Y for Yes, the items to be ordered will come up as usual.
