Approve medicines for the till

Pharmacy-only and prescription medicines wait at the till for a pharmacist. When the dispensing assistant taps Ask a pharmacist, the request comes to you under Approvals, and their till goes on by itself as soon as you decide.

Steps

1. Open Approvals

   Open Approvals from the menu or from the notification. Under Waiting for a decision, the request shows as Medicines for a pharmacist, with who asked and when, the branch, and each medicine with its quantity and schedule: “Tom Mboya Street: Loratadine 10mg tablets, 10 × 1 (P)”. Approvals says: “You see what your role can act on, at your branches.”

2. Tap Approve

   Ask the assistant what you need to know first, then tap Approve. In Approve this request you can add a Note, “Kept with the decision in the audit log.”, and tap Approve.

3. The till goes on

   The dispensing assistant’s till shows “Dr. Brian Otieno approved the medicines. Take payment.” and Approved by Dr. Brian Otieno. They take the payment as for any sale.

At the till, or on your own till

At the till. When you are at the counter, the assistant chooses Pharmacist signs in here. Type your own email and password and tap Approve: see Sell a medicine that needs a pharmacist.

On your own till. When you ring the sale yourself, the payment says “You approve these as the pharmacist. It is recorded with the sale.” and the payment buttons are open at once.

What if

You want to say no

Tap Reject. Reject this request needs a note before Reject works: say why, for the audit log. The assistant’s till tells them you did not approve, so they take the medicine off or ask you again.

You approved from away, and you are not on duty

Kila shows:

Not completed yet

Dr. Amina Hassan approved from away but is not on duty at this branch. Ask the pharmacist on duty (Dr. Brian Otieno).

An approval from Approvals counts only from the pharmacist on duty at that branch. Leave it to them, or sign on duty first: Sign on duty.
