Friendly Society Discount
Overview.
Setting up RxOne for Friendly Society Discounts is quite simple and flexible. In essence, when doing a UFS discount RxOne adds one or two stock items to the sale with negative retail values. These lower the total value of the sale without affecting the retail price of the items on it. This therefore allows items on the sale to correctly count towards clubs at full retail price and GST to be calculated correctly. RxOne allows you to set different discounts for script and non-script items. You can discount by a percentage or by a dollar and cent amount (dollar and cent discounts will never drop a retail below zero).
...
How to set up Friendly Society Discounts:
Create two Product Groups 'FS Script' and 'FS Shop' or similar. Don't make the names too long as they need to show on the EOD/intensive daily reporting report.
...
Set GST and discounts to zero.
...
Create two (non-drug) stock cards. These can be called 'Society Script Discount' and 'Society Shop Discount' or similar. These names are what will be displayed on the POS screen and the dockets/receipts. Set their packsize to 'an outer is 1 pack of 1', reorder to false, POS lookup to true, cost, markup and retail to zero and their product groups to the new groups made above.
...
Using the Friendly Society Discount utility set the options for the shop. These options are:
[ ] Pharmacy is a Friendly Society. (All the society discounts are turned on/off by this. Tick it)
