Report:  Daily Inventory Tracking

 

(Topic Last Updated On:  05/05/2010)

 

This report displays a summary of all inventory transactions for each Drug/Dose Type combination dispensed at your facility over a selected date range.  This report is called 'Daily' because it is generally printed at the end of each day then reviewed and filed with daily dispensing and inventory documentation.  This report can also be very useful when trying to identify the cause of discrepancies between physical and computer inventory counts, because pharmacy personnel can scan this report looking for values that are unusual for specific types of transactions.  Transaction totals are divided between Bulk and Unit inventory on this report, providing a more detailed look at daily inventory transactions.
