Pharmacy Procurement — Supplier Payments

Overview

After a GRN is finalized and costed, a Supplier Payment bill can be raised to record the payment made to the supplier against one or more GRNs or direct purchases.

Supplier payments in HMIS are bill-based — each payment generates a payment bill linked to the source GRN(s).


Recording a Supplier Payment

Navigation: Pharmacy → Procurement → Supplier Payment

Steps:

  1. Select the supplier (Credit Company).
  2. The system lists all unsettled, finalized GRNs for that supplier.
  3. Select the GRN(s) to include in this payment.
  4. Enter the payment amount and payment method (cheque, bank transfer, cash).
  5. Enter the voucher/cheque number and payment date.
  6. Click Save to generate the payment bill.

Viewing and Searching Supplier Payments

Navigation: Pharmacy → Procurement → Supplier Payment List (or Dealer Payment under Stores)

  • Filter by supplier, date range, or payment method.
  • Click View to see the payment voucher.
  • Click Reprint to regenerate the voucher document.

Cancelling a Supplier Payment

A supplier payment bill can be cancelled if not yet reconciled with accounts.

Navigation: Pharmacy → Procurement → Cancel Supplier Payment

Warning: Cancelling a payment re-opens the linked GRN(s) as unsettled.


Known Issues

  • Issue #18592 — The settled bills list incorrectly includes unsettled GRN/DP payments, causing an error page when viewing the voucher (under investigation).

Supplier Management

Suppliers are managed as Credit Companies under the Administration module.

Navigation: Administration → Credit Companies → Manage Credit Companies

Each supplier record includes:

  • Name and institution code
  • Contact information
  • Credit terms

For more details, see Stores — Supplier Management.
