Dispensing Log

The dispensing log is an immutable audit trail of every drug dispensed. It cannot be edited or deleted — this is a regulatory compliance requirement.

5.1 Viewing the Dispensing Log

1. Go to Sidebar > Pharmacy > Dispensing Log
2. Browse all dispensing entries
3. Filter by:
   • Drug name
   • Location
   • Dispensed by (POS user)
   • Date range
   • Entry type (Dispensing or Reversal)

5.2 Controlled Substance Log

1. Go to Sidebar > Pharmacy > Dispensing Log
2. Click Controlled Only to filter for Class A Part II drugs
3. This view is specifically for controlled substance compliance tracking

5.3 Dispensing Entry Details

Click an entry to view:

• Dispensing number (DIS-YYYYMMDD-XXXXXX)
• Entry type (Dispensing or Reversal)
• Drug name, schedule, and regulatory flags
• Patient name and ID
• Doctor name
• Quantity, unit price, batch number, and expiry
• Batch allocations (which batches contributed)
• Linked POS sale
• Linked prescription (if applicable)
• Dispensed by and timestamp

5.4 Reversals

When a POS sale is voided or returned, a reversal entry is created in the dispensing log:

• Entry type is set to Reversal
• Links to the original dispensing entry via reversal_of_id
• The reversal is also immutable
• Prescription quantities are adjusted accordingly
