What you set up

Pharmacy & medical store retail businesses run on the Growth plan, which turns on 27 modules:

Turn any of these off if you don't need them - see setting Finocket up for your trade for the two decisions worth getting right on day one.

What you'll do day to day

MRP, batch and expiry already on the line

Signed in as a staff member, open /pos. Sign in as the counter: sell a strip; the batch with the earliest expiry is picked and MRP is on the bill.

Schedule H1 asks for the prescriber

Signed in as a staff member, open /reports/schedule-h-register. The Schedule H/H1/X register the drug inspector asks for, filled in at the moment of sale.

What expires this month

Signed in as a staff member, open /inventory. Near-expiry and already-expired batches flagged, batch by batch, including the cold-chain store.

A distributor's bill, photographed

Signed in as the owner, open /procurement/scan. Scan-to-add turns a delivery bill photo into a purchase entry.

Nursing-home bills on credit

Signed in as the owner, open /outstanding. The nursing home, diagnostic centre and hospital tie-up bills still open, oldest first.

Every medicine with its salt and maker

Signed in as a staff member, open /items. MRP, salt, manufacturer and the Schedule H/H1/X flag on each item.

GSTR-1 and 3B from the counter's bills

Signed in as the accountant, open /gst/returns. Returns prepared from the bills at 5, 12 and 18 per cent, ready for the CA.

An Ahmedabad medical store that stopped writing off expired stock

Before: Batches and expiry tracked on the strip, not the system; Schedule H1 register kept in a notebook.

With Finocket: Every sale takes the earliest-expiring batch; the H/H1/X register fills itself; near-expiry stock is flagged before it becomes a write-off.
