Configure pricing mode, localization, substitution policy, and default expiry settings for your pharmacies.
Overview
Pharmacy Settings define key commercial and regulatory behaviors across branches. Choose tax display mode (included or excluded), set localization that reflects your region’s conventions, and decide whether medicine substitution is allowed. If substitutions are enabled, link a substitution policy that contains your approved brand↔generic mappings.
Standardizing these choices at the start prevents pricing disputes, reduces training time, and aligns all branches to your operating policies.
How It Works
- Tax Included toggles whether prices display tax-included.
- Localization adapts behavior and defaults by region.
- Substitution Policy links to approved brand↔generic maps.
- Default Expiry Days helps set expected expiry windows for new items.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Go to Pharmacy → Configuration → Pharmacy Settings (Pharmacy Config) → New.
- Choose Localization (e.g., US, EU, India) and whether Tax Included is used.
- Enable or disable Allow Substitution.
- If needed, pick a Substitution Policy (from Substitution Map).
- Fill Default Expiry Days if you want a standard reference for shelf life.
- Save. The computed Name summarizes your configuration.
