UPDATE SETTINGS

This determines how to treat and update files that are sent from the wholesaler through the EDI/Wholesaler Inbox. NOTE: The store should take extreme care when editing this information as it could potentially lead to prices being over written.

Update RX Items : Choose this option if you'd like to update RX items sent in the files.

Load New Drugs Into Rx Database : (*NOT RECOMMENDED*) Choose this option to load all drugs sent in the file. Sometimes wholesalers will send more items that you are currently purchasing with the option to load those items into your POS database. This selection will add items you might not sell and does raise your database size which can result in slower searches. The drug files and databases often carry a lot more information than POS item files, and can result in severe degradation of quality of use for the BestRx program. Use this option with EXTREME caution.

Update Acquisition Cost : Choose this option to update the Acquisition cost on drugs sent in the file.

Update AWP Price : Choose this option to update the AWP price on drugs sent in the file.
