How to: Create Pharmacy Item and Pharmacy Product from Retail Items

In some cases, retail items may be prescribed where part of the payment is covered by public or private insurance. In these cases the item is first created as a Retail Item, and then it must also be created as a Pharmacy Product.

You can create a Pharmacy Product and a Pharmacy Item directly from the Retail Item Card.
