Pharmacy Management

About the Feature

Pharmacy management entails usage of stock management and billing & accounting. Stock management helps the user in effectively dispensing drugs and managing the products (medicines, other supplies). Billing and accounting helps to bill for drugs and services(such as radiology and laboratory orders), as well as for payment, discount and credit.

Please not that these functions are performed in OpenERP, which syncs with Bahmni. The Bahmni front-end is used only for prescribing drug orders and services by the clinician.
