The Gross Profit column is now available in the Rx Queue grid views. This will not be on any grids by default and will have to be manually added if needed.
Adding the Gross Profit column to various workflow queues will allow pharmacists to have a quick overview of prescriptions in workflow to identify outliers before they leave the pharmacy.
+Add Option to Auto Create Sync History
A new location option has been added to the Auto Create Sync History data field. When enabled, Sync Comments will be divided into the Current Sync Comment and the Historic Sync Comments fields on the Patient Profile at Patient > Edit Patient > Profile Tab.
This will allow pharmacists to include only Sync Comments that are relevant to the current cycle on reports that are utilized in workflow.
+Enhanced Delivery Workflow
Added the ability to search by Rx number and Package ID in the Delivery Queue to provide quicker access to prescription/package details if the tote information is not available.
Changed Close and Print buttons in the Delivery Queue to one "Close & Print" button with a drop-down menu to allow pharmacies to print manifests to a local printer, which eliminates paper waste if a tote is reopened.
+Enabled AD Login
Added the ability to enable Active Directory Login in Axys.
+Updated Prescription and Workflow Edits
Users can now edit the following prescription fields if enabled under Prescription, Workflow, and/or User permission settings:
