In Minfos 6.5.2, if your pharmacy was configured to print Claim Forms for items dispensed via Quick Dispense, an option was added to enable you to automatically print a dispense label. Traditionally items dispensed via Quick Dispense did not print a dispense label and were exempted from Drug Scan Check and by default will still be exempt.

Tip: Click here to adjust your Quick Dispense label printing configuration..

However, for pharmacies using Quick Dispense and supplying the medications from instore stock, you are now able to scan check these items.

To scan check an item dispensed via Quick Dispense: 

From the Pharmacist Check Screen:

1. Scan the barcode on the dispense label for an item that has been dispensed via Quick Dispense.

Note: When an item is dispensed via Quick Dispense the drug scan check status by default, will be ‘ES’ - exempt from scan check.

The Scan Check – Exempt Item prompt is displayed.

2. Click Yes to continue.

Note: The script cannot return to ‘ES’ status once ‘Yes' has been selected

• The scan check status for the script will be updated to ‘NS’
• The Pharmacist Check Screen is updated and will display ‘Scan barcode on product’

1. This script will now go into normal scan check workflow e.g. correct or incorrect or multi-item scan checking.

• The script will now count towards the scan check report/statistics (exempted scripts do not count towards these reports)

Note: The Scan Check – Exempt Item prompt will only display once per customer per session i.e. it will not display for the same customer if a group exempt items are scan checked.

Refer to Perform a Scan Check for more information.

A Stock On Hand filter has been added to the Filter options in Price Manager to allow you to further refine the product range that displays. You can now choose to display All Products, Products with SOH, or Products with Negative SOH. This new SOH filter can be applied in addition to the existing Pricing Review filters available.

By default, now when you enter a GP% or Markup% Guideline in Price Manager, KVI lines are  excluded from suggested price changes. This gives you a better indication of the overall GP or Markup in your pharmacy. Minfos will account for the likely lower KVI pricing and adjust the non-KVI product’s pricing to compensate. You can choose to include the KVI lines and Minfos will suggest prices for all products in Price Manager.

Products with SOH filter:

From Price Manager, once you have selected a product or category range:

1. Click Filter.

The Price Manager: Pricing Review Filter window is displayed.2. In the Stock On Hand Group box select the Products with SOH or Products with Negative SOH radio button and click OK.

You are returned to Price Manager: Pricing Review and the list of products displayed will be updated to only include your Stock On Hand filter choice.

Excluding KVI’s from suggested pricing changes:

From Price Manager, once you have selected a product or category range that includes KVI lines:

1. Enter a GP% or Markup% and press [Tab], if a Guideline has not previously been set up.

The New RP field for non-KVI lines not meeting the guideline is updated on the Price Manager – Pricing Review window.

Note: This pricing is adjusted to accommodate for the likely much lower margin on the KVI products to ensure the range is priced as close to your guideline as possible.

• The Total amount in the new GP%/MU% column will reflect the predicted margin if you were to apply the New RP pricing which includes the current pricing for the KVI lines

2. Check the Inc. KVI checkbox if you want to include the KVI products in your pricing review.

3. As per your regular process accept the New RP.

Note: If you do not check the Inc. KVI checkbox and use Apply New Prices (All), the KVI products will remain at the Cur RP.

Refer to Price Manager overview for more information.
