Stock features: batch, expiry and returns
A medical shop's stock is only accurate if every purchase is recorded with its batch number, expiry date, MRP and supplier. Everything else in the software depends on this purchase entry being correct.
- Batch-wise stock with expiry and MRP per batch.
- Near-expiry reports for 30, 60 and 90 days.
- Blocking of expired batches at billing.
- Supplier returns for expiry and breakage with credit note tracking.
- Reorder suggestions based on minimum stock and sales.
Billing features that save time at the counter
Prescription billing needs speed. Look for barcode scanning, short codes, search by brand or composition, strip and loose-tablet sales with automatic unit conversion, and one-click repeat of a regular patient's previous bill.
First-expiry-first-out (FEFO) suggestions help the pharmacist pick the batch that expires first, which reduces expired stock on the shelf over time.
Records, registers and reports
Medical shops need clear records for scheduled medicines, GST and supplier accounts. Software should capture the details you are required to record and print them in the format your pharmacist in charge and auditor expect. The exact rules come from the authorities, so confirm them with your professional advisers.
| Report | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Near-expiry stock | Return or clear stock before it is a loss |
| Batch-wise sales | Trace which patient received which batch |
| Supplier outstanding | Plan payments and claim credit notes |
| Fast and slow movers | Buy the right quantity |
| GST summary | Simplify monthly filing |
Choosing pharmacy software
Ask to see purchase entry with batches, a near-expiry report and a loose-tablet sale during the demo. Check how your existing medicine list can be imported.

Questions Before You Start
What is FEFO in pharmacy billing?
FEFO means first expiry, first out. The software suggests selling the batch that expires first to reduce wastage.
Can pharmacy software search by salt or composition?
Yes, if the medicine master includes composition. This helps suggest substitutes when a brand is out of stock.
Can I sell loose tablets?
Yes. Good pharmacy software converts strips to units automatically so stock stays correct.
Can my existing data be imported?
Usually yes, from Excel or an export of your old software, after cleaning and checking.
