Patient History should show if an item has been dispensed with GST (like Fred Classic)
Fred Dispense Plus does not show in the patient history if an item was dispensed with GST. Some items need to be dispensed that have GST (e.g. OTC items etc). In Fred Dispense Classic, a small + symbol appears next to the price to indicate that it is "GST-inclusive". There does not appear to be any indication of this in Fred Dispense Plus, and so you have to either go back in and "edit" the item to see if GST has been flagged, or print a patient receipt. This increases the likelihood of GST and charging errors by the pharmacy.

Customised PBS fees do not apply to mixtures that require users to add water
Mixtures that require users to add water (eg Amoxil 250mg/5ml) are considered extemp for PBS pricing purposes
Because of this, the customized PBS fees, which are only for ready-prepared items, do not apply when dispensing those mixtures
Users want the customized PBS fees to apply for mixtures too

Search patient by phone number
Please allow a function to search by phone number, this is super useful in Z Dispense, and was one of the cited reasons my old pharmacy chose to go with Z over Fred. Should be easy enough to do right

Format telephone numbers
When entering patient and prescriber telephone numbers they should be automatically separated into shorter blocks of digits or ‘chunks’.
Telephone numbers are easier to read and confirm when their digits are chunked, rather than appearing in one large group as they are now.
Australian telephone numbers in general use have no more than 10 digits and the software should prompt you if you have missed entering a digit:
Landlines – 2 digits for the area code followed by 8 digits for the rest of the telephone number i.e., 02 XXXX XXXX .
Mobiles – 10 digits (there is no area…

Number of units per label when printing multiple labels
When printing labels for a script with multiple packs it would be nice to be able to specify how many tablets are in each box.
eg. Total quantity 90 tablets (product comes as box of 20). FRED would allow you to specify 20, 20, 20, 20 and 10 quantity on each label.8 votesThanks for the feedback - would other users like to see this?

Filter is cleared after editing a script in PBS claim screen
After filtering rejected scripts in the PBS claim screen, editing one of the rejected scripts clears that filter. Users need to set the filter again to locate the remaining rejected scripts. This becomes very repetitive especially when there are many rejected scripts that need to be reclaimed. The system should remember the filter even after editing a script.

Barcode on labels hard to scan
Is it just me or is it hard for the scanners to pick up the barcode on the dispensing labels? I have tried changing the darkness, orientation of the label, different scanners etc etc etc. And the scanners have not changed with the switch to Fred Dispense Plus. Case in point is that I can easily scan labels produced on Classic.
Any ideas?

Prescriber Bag Select from List
There are just over 40 drugs that are on the Prescriber Bag list (https://www.pbs.gov.au/browse/doctorsbag)
Change the workflow so that you do not need to search for each drug. When a drs bag script is presented click the seach button in FD+ and display the dull Prescribers Bag list of items.
Select the prescribed/ordered drugs by 'ticking' each item. Then have the ability to dispense in bulk.
All these drugs will have the same date, same prescriber, no directions and are $0.00 this will help streaming the processes for these scripts.7 votesThank you for your feedback
