Each registered CD has a running balance: Σ received - Σ administered - Σ disposed - Σ returned ± Σ adjustments. The balance is shown on the CD register page and updates with every transaction.
Stock checks
A physical count is recorded as a Stock check transaction. If the count doesn't match the running balance, the UI shows the discrepancy. Investigate before submitting:
Was a recent administration recorded incorrectly?
Was a disposal not entered?
Was a returned-to-pharmacy event missed?
Could there have been a miscount last time?
Heads up — Persistent CD stock discrepancies are a serious matter — they require reporting to your accountable officer and, if unexplained, may need to be escalated to the police. Don't paper over a CD stock gap.
