When Active Script List (ASL) is available in Minfos, authorised Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACF) will be able to request prescriptions from resident’s My Script List (MySL) on behalf of the resident. To authorise the pharmacy access to a resident’s MySL, approval needs to be granted by the RACF representative via email or mobile. In preparation for ASL availability in Minfos, the email and mobile contact details for a RACF can now be added to a Nursing Home in Minfos.

For information on adding or updating a Nursing Home in Minfos refer to Set up Nursing Homes.

Minfos has added new functionality to the List of PDS Error Responses window: 

• The ability to resubmit a PDS error from the List of PDS Error Responses window, to assist with managing errors returned by Prescription Delivery Service (PDS) providers for dispensed ePrescriptions. 
• A shortcut has been added to the Copy SCID option
• The status of an eScript can be viewed with the View Token option

Note It is very important to ensure that all errors displayed in the List of PDS Error Responses window are actioned/corrected to ensure the eScript has been legally dispensed and that customers can get their repeat eScripts filled. 

For further information on these features refer to eScript PDS Errors.

When the Script Options menu is opened from some locations, e.g. the Script Enquiry window, you may notice a new menu item =. Resubmit PDS Transaction. This is a Minfos Support only function and cannot be used by the pharmacy independently of Support.

When selected a prompt will advise you that it is a restricted area. Click Cancel to close the prompt and return to the previous Minfos window.

Previously, when receiving stock via a Rowa dispensing robot if the scanned barcode was not a primary barcode or did not exist in the Minfos Robotics Drugs List Maintenance window a rejection would occur.

Now, if the product's barcode is listed in the stockcard, in Product Maintenance, Minfos will accept the new barcode and automatically add it to the Minfos Robotics Drugs List Maintenance window.

You have told us that when creating an order it is helpful to know the quantity of stock held in the robot, as well as the Minfos SOH, to identify potential discrepancies between the robot and the Minfos stock count. Now, when an order is in a 'Created' status Minfos displays the robot stock on hand.

The new column, ROB SOH, will display in the Order Edit screen when:

• You have an integrated dispensing robot using the Minfos interface type - stores using Gollman dispensing robots will not have visibility of the ROB SOH column.
• The order is in a Created status. Issued, Received and Completed orders will not  display the ROB SOH column; however, Received and Completed orders will display the Robot Rec column (pharmacies with Rowa robots will display 0 in the Robot Rec column).

The value displayed in the ROB SOH column is the quantity of that drug held in the robot. When the drug is not stocked in the robot, the value will display as '0'.

For TerryWhite Chemmart stores using the BuyBetter program, Minfos will now display the latest buying deal information for a created order. This provides Stock Controllers with better visibility on buying opportunities when an order has been generated, but not sent, prior to the deal changing. For example, if an order is generated on a Monday, but not sent that day, and products in that order have deals that expire on the Tuesday, when the order is viewed on the Wednesday the deal would now show as expired.

When you open an order with a status of 'Created' and buying deals for products in that order have changed or expired the Minfos Stock Manager prompt is displayed and notifies you that order quantities may require review.

It is important to review the quantities as Minfos generated the order using the buying deal information that was applicable at the point in time the order was created.

The following deal information is also updated or removed against affected products in the ordering table:

• Every Day
• Deal
• COGS saved
• % Saved
• Deal details

This enhancement is only applicable to orders in a ‘Created’ status.

To meet legislative requirements for some states, when an order is placed via PharmX Minfos now captures the clerk code for the person sending the order. It is now mandatory to enter your clerk code for any orders placed via PharmX.

To capture this information a new field, Clerk No., has been added to the Send Order window in Order Maintenance. The Stock Controller, or other personal who have authority to place orders on behalf of the pharmacy, will need to enter their clerk code into the Clerk No. field. This information is then provided to the supplier as part of the order request.

Note If your pharmacy runs dual businesses, please ensure the Clerk Codes are added to both businesses.

Refer to Transmit an Order for more information on transmitting orders.
