Rx Cycle Fill Set Days Supply

The Set Days Supply option is used to:

Update the proper dispensed amount for months with varying days (i.e., 31, 30, 29 or 28) or for shorter cycles if desired.
Update the proper dispensed amount on orders that were initially filled during the previous month.
Fill new orders with an amount that will run out at the end of the cycle.
Accumulate the quantity dispensed as doses are added to unit dose cassettes on a daily or weekly basis. Quantities can be recorded in the system rather than using a unit dose filling profile.

Type the correct entry in the Qty/Day field on the SIG Record. The system cannot calculate Days Supply if this field is blank.

Type NO when doing the first update of the filling cycle so that each Prescription Record reflects the amount placed in the cassettes for the first filling cycle.

Print Changes: Type YES if using this program in place of a unit dose filling profile. The system prints a Unit Dose Filling Profile which can be used to fill cassettes. Credit and Add columns are provided for manual adjustments.
