There is an update in this release to the eRx adapter. You must update to Minfos 8.0.3 or a later release by 25 June. Failing to do so will result in a disruption to your eRx service.

Inspired by your feedback our new tranquil blue theme has fresh font styles and expanded screens, designed for a more engaging and user friendly software experience.
 This theme is currently in beta and we're still working through some areas that may need updating.

• Better Customer Experience: Enlarged windows and increased size of menus and headings to enhance navigation and ease of use
• Enhanced Readability: Modern font and bold text on commonly used fields
• Improved Aesthetics: Blue background and round corners on buttons

The following new warnings  will now display during the dispensing process if you attempt to dispense an ineligible item from a chart (Hospital Medication Chart or National Residential Medication Chart).

To assist with chart dispensing the icons on the Possible Matches Found & the Generic Drug Listing windows have been updated

Note: The eNRMC icon is for an upcoming release and is not currently in use.

For more information refer to:

• Dispense from a Hospital Medication Chart (HMC)

As there is no longer a cost to the pharmacy to send eScript Repeat Tokens via SMS, we have removed two options in Dispense Configuration that allowed you to set your default token method to Email. Now, when you dispense an eScript the token will default to the method set in the eScript by the Prescriber.

Pharmacist’s still have the ability to adjust the customer’s preference, when they are saving and processing the eScript and then all subsequent repeats of that eScript will default to that preference.

Note: Setting the preference against the eScript will NOT be saved across every eScript, only subsequent repeats of the same eScript.

For ASL customers, their repeat token preference previously defaulted to Do Not Send Token. Now, it will align with the method that is set in the eScript by the Prescriber, but can be changed to Do Not Send Token if necessary. Preferences for Scripts on File patients remain unchanged.

Refer to Manage how a patient receives their eScript repeats for more information.

In Order Templates, you can now sort the window by simply clicking on the header of the appropriate column. Each column can be sorted by ascending or descending order.

Note: The Sort button in the Order Templates window has been removed.

Now when you Add or Change an Order Template, or Generate an order there are checkboxes to Include all (categories) and to Include all Companies. By checking either or both of checkboxes when setting up an Order Template will ensure that products assigned to newly created categories and companies are included when the order generates.

After updating to 8.0.3 we recommend you review your existing Order Templates, and where applicable check the Category Include all and/or the Include all Companies checkboxes. This will ensure all applicable products will be considered during the order generation process.

Refer to Order Templates Overview and Generate Orders Overview more information.

You can now choose include All transactions, this will include $0.00 transactions, on your customer statements when you manually age, manually reprint, manually email your customer statements.

Refer to Manually Age Customer Account Statements, Reprint Customer Account Statements and Manually Email Customer Account Statements for more information.

Note: If you have configured automatic ageing (and print from Neurallion Output) and automatic emailing of Customer Statements, you cannot include $0.00 transactions on the statements.

In 8.0.1 we introduced Account Statuses (Active, Inactive and Suspended) and updated Account icons. In this release, we have further enhanced the icons for linked accounts. These icons will be visible across various modules of Minfos providing you immediate insights into customer account statuses.

Refer to Account Status Overview for more information.

For pharmacies that opt not to accept Cheque payments, a new prompt will now display if Cheque is selected from the End Sale Menu:

Refer to Enable or Disable Cheque Payments at the Till to update your configuration.

We have moved the Promos, Vouchers and Clubs tab, as well as the Loyalty Configurations tab from Till Preferences to Shop Configuration:
