3.1 Make Stock Entry for Drug Shortage

You will see a summary of all the pharmaceuticals and the shortage quantity upon submission if Update Stock is checked and the needed quantity of drugs is not available for consumption in the chosen warehouse.

When Update Stock is selected and the document is in the draft state, a Create Stock Entry button will be available. By mapping all the pharmaceuticals and the shortage quantity for each, the system will establish a new Stock Entry for Material Transfer after pressing this button to check for drug shortages. The medication warehouse you choose for the inpatient medication entry will be the "To Warehouse" for this stock entry. The "Source Warehouse" can then be set, the stock entry saved, and the medication entry submitted.
