Products

Adding a medicine from the drug catalog or by hand, batches and expiry dates, prices and categories.

12 steps
  1. Step 1

    The product list

    Under each medicine, a coloured bar shows its batches: green is good, yellow is nearing expiry, red is expired. Search by name or barcode, and filter by category, by what’s expiring soon or what’s running low.

  2. Step 2

    The medicine page

    Available quantity, batches with their dates, sale and wholesale prices, alternatives, interacting medicines, and the latest stock movements and change history.

  3. Step 3

    Adding a product: from the catalog or new?

    From “Products → Add product”, or when adding a new item inside a purchase invoice. The first question: “From the drug catalog” to pick a ready-made medicine, or “New product” to enter all its details yourself. The wizard then asks one question per step.

  4. Step 4

    Adding from the drug catalog

    A list of over a thousand medicines and supplies, each with its Arabic and English name. Search by either name and tap the medicine: its type and form are filled in for you, leaving what is specific to your pharmacy — is it sold by the pill? How does the box come? Then price, quantity, expiry and barcode as usual.

    The name in the display language becomes the product name and the other one its second name for search; you can edit both before saving. Medicines you already added show an “Added” badge.

    Tip: The catalog downloads to your phone with sync and works offline afterwards; anything added to it reaches you on the next sync. Choose the display language in “Settings → Drug display language”.

  5. Step 5

    New product: the type

    Chose “New product”? First: medical or non-medical (cosmetics and supplies).

  6. Step 6

    The dosage form

    Tablets, capsules, syrup, injections, ointments, drops… The form is the medicine’s category and defines how it can be sold. Capsules are a separate form from tablets and sell the same way: by the capsule, strip or box. Choose “Other” to set a category yourself.

  7. Step 7

    Is it sold by the pill?

    If it’s sold one pill at a time, choose “Yes”, and the pill price is calculated from the strip or box price.

  8. Step 8

    How does the box come?

    A box of strips, or loose pills without strips. This decides what you can sell: a pill, a strip or a box.

  9. Step 9

    Name, price and quantity

    Enter the name; to add a name in another language tap “Add a name in another language” so the medicine also shows up when searching by it (Brufen / بروفين). Then scan (or type) the barcode, the pills per strip and strips per box, then the wholesale and sale prices, the quantity and the expiry date. The app suggests the box price from the strip price, and you can change it.

    Tip: The low-stock threshold makes the medicine appear in “Running low” and “Needs” when it reaches it.

  10. Step 10

    Adding quantity to an existing medicine

    Received a new delivery? Open the medicine and tap “Add quantity”: the quantity, expiry date and wholesale price for this batch. A batch with an existing date is merged into it at a weighted-average cost.

  11. Step 11

    Editing a product

    Name, second-language name, prices, barcodes and low-stock threshold. The quantity isn’t edited by hand: it changes through adding quantity, selling or stock takes, so every movement stays on record.

  12. Step 12

    Categories

    For non-medical products: create your categories and reorder them by dragging. The same order is used in stock takes.
