Branch Preference: Track Drug Inventory & Dispensing Details

Track Drug Inventory & Dispensing Details:
If this is checked off drug inventory tracking will be unavailable and you will not be prompted for the dispensing details or a password upon dispensing.

Explained:
Dispensing drugs out of another system? This is the preference to specify whether you will be tracking drug Inventory and dispensing details in HQ3 or another system (IE: Kroll). This is to allow a dispensed status on drugs without entering the dispensing details (lot/batch/expiry/site). If off drug inventory tracking will be unavailable and you will not be prompt for the dispensing details upon dispensing.

If you do not want to track drug inventory and dispensing details:
- Go to Setup > Preference > Branch Preferences > Preferences tab.
- Select 'Off' for 'Track Drug Inventory & Dispensing Details'

Note:
Drugs need to have a dispensed status in HQ3 for the following reasons:
- To trigger follow-up appointments based on drug schedules 
- To appear as dispensed drugs on various patient reports such as the Action Plan, Courtesy Letter, Immunization History.
- To appear as dispensed drugs on various internal reports such as the Activity Report.
