Medicines, batches and prices

For: Head office, buying

A medicine is an item with a drug schedule. Every medicine is kept batch-wise with an expiry date, and every batch carries the MRP printed on its pack.

Step by step

1The medicine#

Item › Medicine: salt / generic name, strength, form, pack, manufacturer, Drug schedule (OTC, G, H, H1, X) and the rack it sits on in every store. Same salt and strength = substitutes.

2Batches#

Each batch has its expiry and MRP (incl. GST). Batches are created when goods are received; nobody types them twice.

3Selling price = the batch's MRP#

The price list MRP holds each medicine's newest MRP, taken from the purchase receipt. On the bill every line is priced at the MRP of its own batch, so a newer batch with a higher MRP does not change the price of the older stock, and no bill can exceed MRP.
