Fred Office Plus
Patients must be created in Fred Dispense or Fred Dispense Plus. Once the patient exists, the customer account can be created from Fred Dispense or from Fred Office Plus. A work cover customer account can be linked to the patient for auto charging. Statements can be configured to display the NHS drug code and information when the scripts are auto charged.
Before you start: If the patient record does not exist, it must be created in Fred Dispense or Fred Dispense Plus.
