Pharmacy pack
Run a medical store on POS Retail - salt search and substitutes, loose tablets, MRP cap, Schedule H / H1 / X rules, drug licence on the bill.
What it adds
The Pharmacy pack turns POS Retail into billing for a medical store. Everything else in POS Retail stays the same, and you can switch it off any time - your medicine details are kept.
- Medicine details on each product: salt / composition, manufacturer, units in a strip, schedule, rack, ceiling price.
- Salt search and substitutes on the billing screen.
- Loose sale: sell 3 tablets out of a strip of 10.
- Never above MRP: the price can't go above the batch's MRP.
- Schedule H, H1, X and narcotic (NDPS) medicines ask for the patient and doctor, and H1 / X / NDPS go into their registers.
- Drug licence numbers and the pharmacist printed on every bill and invoice.
- Dosage stickers ("1-0-1 after food, 5 days") printed from the bill.
The basics are in every plan. Registers, distributor bill import, short book, ceiling price checks, refill reminders and the prescription upload link come with the Standard plan and above.
Switch it on
- Go to Settings › Billing Settings › Store type & scanning.
- Under Pharmacy, tick Pharmacy pack. Track batches and expiry dates is ticked for you - the pack needs it.
- Click Save. A Pharmacy tab appears next to it, and a Pharmacy group in the menu.
- In the Pharmacy tab, enter your D.L. numbers (Form 20 / 21, and 20B / 21B if you sell wholesale), the pharmacist and their registration number.
- Choose the billing rules: loose sale, the MRP cap, whether Schedule H asks for the patient too, the manager PIN for Schedule X, and whether a prescription photo is off, optional or required.
Coming from the Ellibo Pharmacy page, a new retail business starts with the pack already ticked.
Add medicine details
Open a product. In the Pharmacy card:
- Salt / composition, for example Paracetamol 650mg. Products with the same salt show as substitutes.
- Units in one pack: a strip of 10 = 10. Price and stock stay per strip.
- A unit is called: tablet, capsule, ml.
- Schedule: None (over the counter), H, H1, X or narcotic.
- Rack / shelf, printed on the bill line and on shelf labels.
- Ceiling price (one pack): the government ceiling price, if it has one.
- Banned: the billing screen refuses it.
Tick Track batches & expiry under the price too. Importing products? The Excel file takes Salt / Composition, Manufacturer, Units in Strip, Schedule and Rack columns.
At the counter
- Type part of a salt in Search - "parace" finds every paracetamol brand.
- Under a medicine in the bill: its schedule, rack and salt, with Loose and Substitutes.
- Loose: type how many tablets. 3 of a strip of 10 bills 0.3 of the strip, at a tenth of the price each.
- Substitutes: other brands with the same salt, their price and stock. Use this swaps the line.
- A Schedule H1, X or narcotic medicine shows an orange bar: press Prescription and enter the patient, the doctor and their registration number, the prescription number, and a photo if you want. A prescription a customer sent with your link can be picked here too.
- Schedule X and narcotic medicines need a manager's PIN when a cashier sells them.
- The bill prints the D.L. numbers, the patient and doctor, and the batch, expiry and schedule under each line.
Online store
With Hide prescription medicines from the online store on (Pharmacy tab), saving a Schedule H / H1 / X / narcotic product takes it off your online store. Over-the-counter products sell online as usual.
