How do I managed different pack sizes?

StrongER doesn't differentiate between different pack sizes of the same mediation, read on for why...

In StrongER by default, we do not separate different pack sizes of the same strength and brand of the same product such as a 10 and 20 pack of oxycodone 5mg. This is because combing the 2 pack sizes simplifies managing the product in the drug register. This means it does not matter which product you select in dispense, the quantity comes off the one product. Rather than in cases where someone may dispense two 10 packs of oxycodone for a total of 20 tablets and then supply a box of 20 tablets or when you dispense the 20 pack size but only for 10 tablets and supply a 10 pack. Meaning that you do not have to worry about transferring stock from the 10 pack to the 20 pack and vice versa, the stock count should always be correct and you don't have to investigate issues with balances between the pack sizes, prior to being able to sign a script out. Additionally, if you have a broken pack of one pack size, you don't need to break another pack unnecessarily so that the stock count for that pack size is correct.

If, however you wish to separate pack sizes in StrongER, contact the support team and we can show you how to do so.
