Pharmacy Can Dispense into Negatives (Preferences)

This setting allows the pharmacy to dispense medication even when stock levels fall below zero.


Heads Up!

 When enabled, the system permits dispensing of items even if there is insufficient stock available, resulting in negative stock balances.

How It Works

  1. If stock is insufficient, the system still allows the transaction.

When Enabled

  1. Pharmacy can dispense items even when stock is unavailable.

  2. Helps avoid interruption in patient care during stock shortages.

  3. Stock records may show negative values to reflect deficit.

When Disabled

  1. The system blocks dispensing when stock is not available.

  2. Pharmacy must restock before dispensing the item.

Note

This setting should be used carefully, as it may affect inventory accuracy and stock management reporting.
