Enhancements

Dispense

New Configuration – Automatically sell eligible $0 scripts during the End of Day process

A new Auto Sell Scripts configuration has been added to help pharmacies reduce manual Till clean‑up and keep script and stock records accurate. When enabled, Minfos will automatically sell eligible $0 NHS and/or $0 Private scripts as part of the End of Day (EOD) process.

This configuration removes the need to manually clear large backlogs of zero‑priced scripts, ensures SOH and script status remain accurate, and clearly marks auto‑processed transactions in Sales Enquiry for full visibility.

Key benefits:

  • Save time: Eligible $0 scripts are automatically sold during EOD - no manual ringing off required
  • Reduce clutter in the till window: Prevent backlogs of $0 scripts left waiting at the Till
  • Maintain accuracy: SOH and script status are updated as part of the automatic sell process
  • Full visibility: Auto‑processed transactions appear in Sales Enquiry and are clearly identifiable

The new Auto Sell Scripts option can be set in Dispense Configuration, in the Dispense/Customer tab.Click the Auto Sell Scripts dropdown to select an option:

  • None – set by default
  • $0 NHS with Qty >0 – When selected, all NHS scripts with a price of $0 and a quantity greater than zero are automatically sold during EOD
  •  $0 NHS &  $0 Private with Qty >0 – When selected, all NHS and Private scripts with a price of $0 and a quantity greater than zero are automatically sold during EOD
Note    Negative‑quantity and deleted scripts are excluded and must still be managed manually.

Refer to Configure $0 scripts to automatically sell at End of Day for further details.

Authority Number & Streamlined Code are now downloaded when marking off an owing eScript

When marking off an owing eScript, Minfos will now automatically display the Authority Number and Streamlined Code from the downloaded eScript. This ensures the information used during mark-off matches the Script details, reducing manual edits and improving accuracy.

Two new fields have been added to the Owing Script Details window - Authority Number and Streamlined Code. When available, these fields will prefill with values from the downloaded eScript, with the option to select the original owing details if required.

Drug images removed from the PMP (Patient Medication Profile) report

We’ve streamlined the Patient Medical Profile by removing drug images from PMP reports. These images were often incomplete, rarely referenced, and frequently caused unnecessary download issues. The PMP report now displays a cleaner layout with extended drug names and no image placeholders, improving readability and removing reliance on incomplete third‑party images.

As a part of this update the Manual and Automatic PMP Update options have been removed, and locally stored PMP images (located in the Minfos01\CMI folder) will be automatically cleared when you update to Minfos 8.8.2.


Stock Manager

Save time! Set eligible electronic invoices to complete automatically with Smart Complete

Smart Complete lets your store automatically complete eligible electronic invoices, reducing manual processing and saving time. Once enabled in Shop Configuration, Minfos compares the supplier’s invoice total with the total collected in your store. If the difference falls within your configured Invoice Total Threshold, the order moves straight from Issued to Completed, and stock‑on‑hand is updated automatically.

Invoices completed via Smart Complete can by easily identified by the Completed via Smart Complete note.

You choose which suppliers participate and nominate the acceptable variance, giving you full control and a safe boundary for automation. Any invoices outside your threshold remain in Received for manual review.

Benefits for your pharmacy:

  • Less manual work – routine EDI invoices are completed automatically
  • Safer automation – you set the acceptable variance and control which supplier’s invoices are included
  • Works across all gateways – supports both PharmX and MVX electronic invoices

Replenish

Improvements to the Replenish window boost speed and performance

The Replenish window has been optimised to handle large product lists more efficiently, so the screen stays responsive while you work. Updates to key product details - like SOH, PDE, and stocked status - now appear quickly without slowing you down. Sorting, scrolling and reviewing products remain smooth, even while Replenish processes changes in the background.

These improvements happen behind the scenes, but the benefit is clear: faster loading, fewer interruptions and a more stable experience when managing large volumes of products.

Manually added items retain focus in Replenish window

Adding new items to Replenish is now smoother and more intuitive. Previously, when a new item was added and the list re‑sorted, the item could jump to a new position and disappear from view. With this enhancement, the newly added item now stays highlighted and visible - no matter which sorting method you’re using.

This makes working through Replenish lists faster, reduces frustration, and keeps your focus exactly where you expect it to be.


Multi-store

Obsolete utilities removed from Maintenance menu

We’ve removed the Recalculate GST and Manual Sales Import utilities to help protect data accuracy and ensure consistent reporting across Multi‑Store environments. These tools were no longer suitable for current workflows.

Removing them makes your system more reliable, reduces risk, and keeps your data clean and secure.
