Dispensing split packs

Fred Dispense

Overview

Items dispensed as individual units, also known as singles or split packs, can be set up to dispense at a set price, and stock on hand to deduct correctly.

Set price

When dispensing a lower quantity than usual, the price will calculate as a fraction of the total cost. To set a different price for a lower quantity, enter the quantity and price in the drug card, found under Setup > Drugs.

In order for stock on hand to be deducted correctly, stock on hand needs to be received per the number of units. If this is not happening, check the following:

1. From the open item card, click Edit for the suppliers.
2. Set the Pack Quantity for each supplier this item is ordered from to the number of units per box.

3. Click OK and then Save.

   This ensures correct Stock on hand is received and unit cost is updated at time of invoicing.

Example

Fixomull Transparent 10cm x 10m

There are 10m per box therefore TEN 1m units per box.

Pack Quantity will be 10.

Update the Cost Ex by dividing by the number of units to update the predicted cost for new orders.

When this item is added to a Draft or Order, the Pack Qty column will display and the Qty Ordered must equal at least 1 pack.

When this order is sent to the Ordering Gateway only the number of packs will be sent as (a whole number).
