Stores Stock Issuance
Stock issuance is the process of transferring items from a store to a requesting department or staff member. The Stores module supports three issuance types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Unit Issue | Issue items to a department in standard units |
| BHT Issue | Issue items against a patient's BHT (Bed Head Ticket) number |
| BHT Issue Return | Return unused BHT-issued items back to the store |
A unit issue records stock transferred to a department (e.g., ward, theatre, ICU) for general use — not linked to a specific patient.
Navigation: Stores → Transactions → Unit Issue
Steps:
- Select the issuing store and the receiving department.
- Add items and quantities.
- Click Issue to confirm.
The receiving department's stock increases; the issuing store's stock decreases.
A BHT issue links consumed items directly to a patient via their BHT number. This supports patient-level cost tracking for consumables.
Navigation: Stores → Transactions → BHT Issue
Steps:
- Enter the patient BHT number.
- The system retrieves the patient's admission details.
- Add items consumed by/for that patient.
- Click Issue.
BHT issues feed into inpatient billing for consumable charges.
If items issued to a patient are not used, they can be returned to the store.
Navigation: Stores → Transactions → BHT Issue Return
- Search for the original BHT issue bill.
- Select items to return and enter quantities.
- Confirm.
All issue transactions can be searched and reviewed.
