This article covers two processes to dispense from a Prescriber Bag Supply Order Form. 

Note 
If the prescriber has both personal and Doctors Bag scripts dispensed in your pharmacy, it is recommended that two separate customer profiles be maintained – one for the personal scripts, and one for doctor’s bag prescriptions. 
Refer to Add a New Customer in Dispense for instructions on how to add a customer.
