Overview of the Propel POS Inventory Transfer Fields

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

The Propel Rx fields used for Propel POS inventory transfer are in the Drug Folder Inventory tab. Drugs are flagged for inventory transfer at the pack size level. The three main fields used for inventory transfer are POS Size, POS Product, and Main UPC.

  • POS Size column - POS Size is the quantity that will be removed from POS inventory when one package is transferred to Propel Rx inventory. The Propel POS Size will be 1 for most products.

  • Main UPC and Alt UPC fields - the product's UPC must be entered in the Main UPC field. This ensures Propel Rx queries Propel POS for the correct product. An alternative UPC can be entered in the Alt UPC field.

  • POS Product checkbox - the POS Product checkbox tells Propel Rx that the pack size is a regular front shop item (i.e., vitamins, Ensure, etc.). When a pack size is flagged as a POS Product, inventory will be pulled from the Propel POS system when additional packs are required for prescriptions.

Although the pack size must be monitored in Propel Rx for OTC Inventory Transfer, the item will not be reordered through Propel Rx purchase orders - the Re-Order Point and Re-Order # of Packs will be blank, and Propel Rx will ignore this pack size when creating purchase orders. Propel POS Products are only reordered through Propel POS purchase orders.
