Adding a Custom Supplier

This topic is intended for Independent pharmacies only and is not applicable to Rexall pharmacies.

Suppliers can be added to Drug Folders in order to track inventory and accurately reflect the cost of items received from non-McKesson suppliers.

To add a custom supplier to a Drug Folder:

  1. Open the Drug Folder.

  2. In the Inventory tab, select Add in the Pack Detail section. The Supplier Search window opens.

  3. Enter the code or name of the supplier and select Search.

  4. Highlight the correct supplier in the search results. Select OK. The Supplier Search window closes and the supplier is added in the lowest ranking position.

    The Block $ Updates checkbox is selected automatically for custom suppliers as their unit and pack pricing must be updated manually.

  5. In the associated fields for the newly added supplier in the Pack Detail section, enter the following:

    • Acq Cost (pk)

    • Acq Cost (ut)

    • Item #

    • Price (ut)

    • Price (pk)

    • Optional: Pack Size - if advanced ordering is required. For more information, see Advanced Ordering.

  6. Evaluate which supplier you want to use for pricing and automatic reordering of inventory. Select the Default checkbox for that supplier's row.

    When ordering inventory using the Order button in the Drug Folder, the defaulted supplier is the supplier that populates in the Add to Next Order window.

  7. Select Save.
