Changing Products with Price Code of P to C
This topic is intended for Independent pharmacies only and is not applicable to Rexall pharmacies.
A Price Code change will convert pack sizes of 1 and centrally maintained pack sizes greater than 1 from P to C. A Price Code of P will no longer be an option for centrally maintained or free-form pack sizes. A number of changes in the Drug Folder will accompany the change to ensure inventory and prescription pricing remain accurate.
Addition/Removal of TP Rules
TP Rules will be added or removed for the affected centrally maintained pack sizes to ensure the correct quantities are submitted to Third Parties with the new Price Code. A report of the TP Rules that were removed can be found in C:\ProPharmtemp\InventoryCleanUp_DeletedTPRules.csv.
PTS will make every effort to insert the TP Rules where known. There may be TP Rules, especially for private plans, that you may need to manually insert.
Adjustments to Inventory Values
Inventory values will be adjusted for the affected pack sizes to ensure the values are aligned with the new Price Code of C. These changes will apply regardless if the pack size is monitored or flagged as Do Not Re-Order.
Select the dropdowns to learn more about the changes to each value.
On Hand
The On Hand will be multiplied by the pack size to generate the new On Hand expressed in units.
Re-Order Point
The Re-Order Point will be multiplied by the pack size to generate the new Re-Order Point expressed in units. For negative Re-Order Points, no adjustments will be made.
On Order
Propel Rx will look back at open orders in the past 30 days and multiply the On Order amounts by the pack size to generate the new values on the Order Pad. The new On Order amounts will also be reflected in the Drug Folder Inventory tab. The old On Order amount will still display in the Shipment Details window and Purchase Order window for purchase orders that have been sent but not yet received.
Owe Balances
Owe Balances will not be changed. When processing an Owe Balance that existed prior to the upgrade, manually adjust the On Hand to correctly reflect the number of units being dispensed for the Owe Balance.
Addition of Minimum Dispensing Quantities
The Min Disp Quantity values will be added where applicable to guide users to enter the correct quantities based on the pack size and Price Code.
Adjustments to Supplier and Eligibility Prices
The Supplier and Eligibility Prices for the pack sizes, where applicable, will be adjusted accordingly to unit costs.
