PRODUCT NEWS & FEATURES
+Add Hard Stop for Expired Drugs at Fill and Check Stations
We have added a Non-Bypassable Hard Stop data field when expired drugs are used at the Fill and Check stations. This will help pharmacies that enter their medication lot and expiration dates be more vigilant with dispensing the correct lots.
+Add Sold Between Date Filter to Rx Advanced Search
The Sold Between search filter is now available on the Rx Advanced Search grid. This filter allows the user to search for transactions sold between a specified date range. Using the filter will result in a friendly filter entry being made on reports and have the filter kept in reporting.
+Add Dispensed Item Barcode List To Prescription Label Template
The DispensedItemBarCodeList data field is now an available field on the Prescription Label and Back Tag Label report templates. This will come in handy for pharmacies that use the PK Software for compounding. Pharmacies that add the PK Batch number to the PioneerRx Compound Item Barcode area can now see these values reflected on their PioneerRx prescription label.
+Added Workflow Queue Enhancements
Added Fill Type column to the Label, QA, Scan to Tote, and Packaging queues to display Manual, Cycle, or InstantFill.
Added Cycle column to the QA, Scan to Tote, and Packaging queues to display either Yes or No.
Added Package column as an option for the Scan to Tote queue so that the user can easily view the package number in the grid.
Good beep and bad beep sounds have been enabled in the Scan to Tote queue so that users who may be away from the computer while scanning items have an audible indicator.
