Pharmacist

Welcome. This manual follows the pharmacist’s day in JupitaPos PharmacyPOS and points you to the guide for each job, with pictures of the real screens.

Who this manual is for

You are the registered pharmacist the outlet’s licence names. The system records your decisions; it never makes them: it does not diagnose, suggest a dose or substitute a medicine.

• System role: Pharmacist (pharmacist).
• What you see and what you do not: medicines and their classes, stock by batch, prescriptions from intake to supply, the controlled-drugs register, recalls, client records, the till, the pharmacy’s settings and its reports. Not the owner’s billing and subscription.

Where you start

• Your landing screen: Customers → Prescriptions.
• What must be on: the outlet’s licence and a current registered pharmacist under Settings → Pharmacy settings — regulated supplies stay closed until both are recorded.
• Working offline: general-sale medicines can be sold at the till without a connection; prescriptions, controlled drugs and reviews need one.

A day at work

1. Sign in — Sign in — and check that you are the pharmacist on duty — Record the licence and the pharmacist.
2. Review the prescriptions waiting for you and supply them — Record, review and supply a prescription.
3. Receive deliveries by batch and expiry, or check what the technician received — Receive medicines by batch and expiry.
4. Enter controlled-drug movements in the register as they happen — Keep the controlled-drugs register.
5. Act on a recall or a batch that should not be sold — Hold stock, record a recall, dispose of stock.
6. Sell at the counter between prescriptions — Sell at the counter.

Guides you will use

• Record the licence and the pharmacist — what opens the regulated work for an outlet.
• Add and classify medicines — the class decides who may sell a medicine and how.
• Record, review and supply a prescription — intake, your review, the supply.
• Keep the controlled-drugs register — receipts, supplies, the running balance.
• Hold stock, record a recall, dispose of stock — a held batch cannot be sold.
• Receive medicines by batch and expiry — every batch with its expiry.
• Transfer and count stock — between outlets, and the count.
• Client records and the pharmacy reports — who was supplied what, and the reports.
• Orders and sales, reprints and returns — a sale found again, a return decided.

Quick reference

When something goes wrong

• Selling or supplying is refused for the outlet — the licence is missing or past its expiry, or no registered pharmacist is current. Record them under Settings → Pharmacy settings.
• A medicine cannot be sold at the till — its class needs a prescription or a pharmacist; supply it through a prescription.
• A batch does not appear at the counter — it is held, recalled or expired. Release a hold only when you have decided it is safe.

Getting help

• The owner handles the subscription, billing and other outlets.
• The administrator fixes accounts, roles and PINs.
• The Help Center: Help & Training › Role-Based Manuals in the menu, or the ? at the top of any screen — Find help.

Manuals you can also read

• Cashier — For the cashier at the till — opening the drawer, ringing up and taking payment, verifying mobile money and counting the drawer at the end of the shift. The till, the terminal and the point of sale; nothing else.
• Storekeeper — For storekeepers and store managers — receiving deliveries, issuing and transferring stock, requisitions from the outlets, counts, waste, batches and expiry, and the stores themselves.
• Pharmacy technician — For the technician working under the pharmacist — taking in prescriptions, receiving stock by batch and expiry, client records and selling general-sale medicines at the counter.
