Pharmacy Bills for Cashier

Introduction

Pharmacy billing from the cashier's perspective involves two workflows: accepting payment for pharmacy bills that were created by the pharmacy counter (pre-bill workflow), and creating retail pharmacy sales directly at the cashier counter. Both are available to cashiers with the appropriate privileges.

Navigation

• Sale for Cashier: Main Menu → Pharmacy Sale for Cashier → Sale for Cashier (privilege: PharmacySaleForCashier)
• Accept Pharmacy Bill Payments: Main Menu → OPD Cashier → Accept Payments for Pharmacy Bills (privilege: AcceptPaymentForPharmacyBills)
• Pharmacy Refunds: Main Menu → OPD Cashier → Refunds for Pharmacy Bills (privilege: RefundPharmacyBillsFromCashier)

The cashier can create a pharmacy retail sale directly without going through the pharmacy counter:

1. Navigate to Pharmacy Sale for Cashier → PharmacySaleForCashierController.navigateToPharmacyBillForCashierFromMenu().
2. Search for the patient (or select walk-in/non-patient sale).
3. Add medicines/items using the item autocomplete.
4. Enter quantities.
5. Review prices (auto-populated from pharmacy item master).
6. Select payment method.
7. Click Save. Bill is created and receipt printed.

A Quick Sale variant (PharmacySaleForCashierQuick) is available for faster entry in high-volume environments.
