Recording CD transactions

Five user-visible transaction types in the CD register, plus the automatic administered-from-MAR entries.

Transaction types

  • Received — delivery in from the pharmacy.

  • Disposed — destroyed (denatured kit), refused-and-returned.

  • Returned — returned to the pharmacy.

  • Stock check — physical count.

  • Adjustment — correcting a counting error or missed past movement.

Plus Administered entries, which are created automatically from MAR administration recordings — you don't enter these manually.

Recording a transaction

  1. Open eMAR → Controlled Drugs.

  2. Open the medication.

  3. Click New entry.

  4. Pick the transaction type, quantity, witness, and notes.

  5. Save. The running balance updates immediately.

Heads up — CD transactions are append-only. If a transaction was entered wrong, post an Adjustment transaction to correct the count with a clear explanation in the notes — don't edit the original.
