Address label does not indicate when items have been autocharged (LOTS with FD+ integration)
When patients are autocharged the drug label indicates that the item has been autocharged with an asterix * but the address label does not say that the items have been charged. Previously in FD Classic the address label would say charged (with LOTS POS integration).

escripts search patient
For patients with no Medicare number, when scanning an escript, it automatically enters new patient, without the ability to search for patient. This is especially common with patients with multiple surnames.
As a result, patients can get multiple personas in Dispense. And we are unable to merge escripts, so the problem is compounded.

S8 and S4D escript dispensed elsewhere notification needed when repeat not due
If a S8 or a S4D e script has been dispensed elsewhere, a notification does not pop up if the prescription interval has not yet lapsed. Can this be implemented into dispensing software to prompt pharmacist that the interval has not lapsed yet and should not be dispensed.

Dispensing shortcut 'aey' - please change from 'Avoid contact with eyes' to 'into the affected eyes'
For more than 20 years, different pharmacies and dispensing systems have used the shortcut, 'aey' for: into the affected eyes.
Now, FRED dispense plus has made it the opposite direction of: AVOID contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
As it is a system sig, it cannot be changed. Please remove it all together, or allow us to adjust it to our preferred sig.
Extensive muscle memory has me writing incorrect directions on dispensing labels.Thank you

For Private Scripts Add the drug name to the Coding sticker
This was available in Classic and was used as a double check on the originals.
It gives added confidence when scripts are scanned into MedView Paperless especially on scripts where there are multiple prescribed lines and where original supply has been deferred.

Have "tags" for patients that are highlighted on the profile bar. eg. "WEBSTER PT", "MEDADVISOR", "SIMILAR/SAME NAME ALERT", "TOP CUSTOMER"
The tags should be coloured and easily seen, and ticked easily from the main profile edit screen. Would be a killer feature.

Minimum price function
Currently, the system does not apply the minimum price configured in the pricing option when the user edits the quantity of a medication with a set price. The user would like the minimum price to be applied even when the medication has a set price and the quantity is edited.

Warning at scan check when dispensing a broken pack
When dispensing a broken pack, can we please have a warning prompt during scan check that mentioned "Warning: Broken Pack - Please check the quantity is correct".
For example, when dispensing Amoxicillin 500mg Tablet , quantity of 30, which relates to 1.5 boxes. Can we please have a prompt at scan check to alert that it involves a broken box?
This would prevent errors in supplying medications.
Thanks

escript preference in patient banner
The e-script preference for patient needs to be on header with ther patient crital info!! And need to be visible even if script is not being dispensed. Helps with discussions to patient about where their script has gone and also helps us make sure we are efficiently setting up - otherwise we have to go into profie and change after for eg. it prints a token.

Print bulk address labels from facility reports
Under facility reports it'd be really useful to have a function to print address labels for each patient listed in the selected facility rather than having to find each patient and print individually

markoff owing
When the system prompted to adjust the SN entitlement from last year, it inquired about updating patient details. Even though "NO" was chosen, the system incorrectly calculated the price to be paid. To rectify this, the patient's SN number from last year needs to be entered in the patient details. This particular problem has not arisen in previous years.
