Prescription sales

Use prescription mode when you dispense against a doctor’s prescription. The patient, doctor and directions for use (signa) are recorded with the sale. A prescription sale can also include non-prescription products.

  2. Enter the Patient name. If a customer is attached, their name is used automatically.
  3. Enter the doctor:
