The Product Management Tool allows you to SET the maximum price you wish to pay for a product. This feature is extremely useful when you are ordering lines above Drug Tariff.
Example: If you set the maximum price of Allopurinol 100mg tablets at £2.00 per pack, then the software will order this product from all the suppliers (by price) automatically up to a maximum value of £2.00. If all the suppliers are out of stock under £2.00 then it will NOT automatically order from any suppliers above £2.00.
The above settings can be made TEMPORARILY for an "active" order only or PERMANENTLY for all future orders.
Let's take an example of Allopurinol 100mg tabs x 28
Search Allopurinol 100mg in the search box, select the cheapest product and enter the quantity you would like to order.
Click on the “£” icon to open the Product Management Tool.
Let’s say the maximum price you are willing to pay is £2.00. Enter the value 2.00 in the Maximum Price input box and thereafter Click on "UPDATE". You have now configured the maximum price of Allopurinol 100mg tabs x 28.
When you Transmit your order, Drug Comparison will start placing the order in the following cascade:
TRIDENT £1.32 AAH £1.47 COLORAMA £1.69 OTC £1.89 SIGMA £1.90
If all the above suppliers are out of stock, then it will not order from Alliance at £6.50 as this is above the Maximum price value you have set for Allopurinol 100mg.
