Stock Details window

Stock lists may have been imported into VisionVPM through a data conversion from your previous stock system.

Before entering additional stock items, first consider your coding and grouping of stock. VisionVPM can use both alphabetic and numeric codes. Some clinics find alphabetic codes easier to remember and quicker to use. These can be a useful way of grouping stock items together, for example, all vaccine codes start with VAX. If your codes are simple and logical, difficulties finding stock items and the likelihood of duplications in the system will be reduced.

Stock items can be accessed through the Stock Details window.
