Results
Using this method will not reduce the RVM allocation against the farmer, but will enter a clinical record against the animal and bill the client.
It will also print out the drug label for the product with all warning messages that you choose to have added.
If you wish to automate this process further you can enter the drug label against the stock item itself. To do this:
Go to: Main menu > Stock module > Stock menu > Stock Details > select the stock item.
From the Stock Details window, in the Label Warning field, type the details of the label.
Click Save.
This will then automatically populate the label field whenever you sell the item.
There is an RVM report available from Clients module > Reports menu > RVM Report. This report displays the RVM allocations with an end date within a date range.
For example, the following report displays RVM allocations with an End Date between 1 August 2011 and 31 August 2011
This report is an excellent marketing tool as you can see which clients RVM allocations are coming up for expiry. You can then ring them to let them know that they need to purchase their allocated drugs before the RVM expires.
