Questions for the owner
- Gabapentin 100 mg caps: no expiration date was found on the count. What is the date? It is not marked OK until we have it. (4 on hand, reorder point 2.)
- The 6 expired LR bags: please follow the clinic's own process for removing them from stock.
- Do you want to order replacement ketamine ahead of its May 2 date? Your order quantity is 2 vials.
- The LR bags are now 12 usable against a reorder point of 10. Do you want to count the reorder point against usable bags only?
What it does
Takes your clinic's current drug and supply count and tells you what is expired, what is about to expire, and what needs to be reordered. It also builds a ready-to-send order list for your supplier.
Use it when: Use when a veterinary clinic needs to turn a drug or supply count into reorder alerts and expiration warnings, such as "what do we need to order," "check what's expiring," "run the inventory," or "which meds are low."
