Setting a Minimum Order Quantity

This is an ideal option for fast-moving lines that are pre-packed in outers, for example, Gaviscon liquids.

1. From Pharmacy Manager, select Tools - Inquiry > Product.
2. The Find Product screen displays, enter the product name into Product:

   

3. Highlight the product required and select Details .
4. Under Ordering, enter a:
   • Minimum stock level – When the stock quantity falls below this level, it triggers an order to be raised.
   • Minimum order quantity – The smallest quantity of the product that you want to order.

     

5. Select OK to save and close.
