Adding the dispensing units as a read-only field next to Quantity when editing charge items is simple enough.
Do you also want it to appear in the items table? Either as a separate column or in the Quantity column?

I'm curious as to why this is required. In the test data, we include the dispensing units in the name of the product. Also in the description.
This aids product selection when using the product browser. What do you do? Should we be including a separate 'Dispensing Units' column in the product browser?

Don't believe it is necessary in items table just when entering/editing qty after selecting a specific product.
Also do not need in browser as not used as a method of product selection just to aid quantity entry.

Just to make it clear we need selling units displayed next to quantity not dispensing units. They can be different.
Dispensing units is more for the Label dialogue and may be nice to add there while we are at it.

Right you are Tony, Selling units not dispensing units.

Also, as you say Tony, product selection not a player here. This is just to assist in the act of quantity entry. In our practice Tim, we measure the effectiveness of our product naming convention by the fact that we hit a unique item without every seeing the product selection dialog, hence our vets often will never see the product description whilst billing.

Also just a point of clarification, the spec refers to the adding it to the label dialog but should also include the billing dialog. I attached two mock up screenshots of the proposed change.

Hi Tim,

Tim asked;

  • Should dispensing and selling units be displayed when viewing medications/invoices?
    I don't think so Tim, as the dispensing units are only relevant for making up administration instructions on the dispensing label. I think dispensing units only need to appear there.

Tim asked;

  • Should selling units be displayed when doing estimations?
    Yes. I had forgotten them.
