Customer mismatch preventing owing from being received
When an owing is received, if the patient details on the eScript do not match the patient the owing was dispensed to, then Minfos will prevent the owing from being received.
The Select Customer Record window will display with the patient’s details from the eScript. The Unable to Receive Owing error will also display with the patient details of the owing script.
Select Ok to close the error and return to the Owing Script Enquiry window.
Locate the correct token to receive the owing.
