These products should be investigated:

  • Do you have the product in the pharmacy?
  • Have you completed your invoices correctly, i.e. is the product a carton item and are the retail units and cost price correct in the stock card?
  • Have you dispensed and sold the product and you are waiting the order to arrive for the customer?
  • Have you sold a special order product prior to receiving the stock?
  • Is the negative SOH the result of duplicated stock cards?
