Re: Re: new to forum

Hi Kathy,
Sorry I haven't answered sooner--I've been getting ready for inventory!!!
Actually, we don't make any changes for inventory. I think we finally have everybody educated about entering quantities--it is really a big pain and we all have to be reminded every year. That whole fraction of a package drives me wild. The ABC shelf stickers do indicate how many are in a pack, so the person counting has only to check that info to know what decimal to enter in the Telxon.
It is confusing, but after a few missteps, most of the quantities are entered correctly. And it is pretty apparent to me, especially, and to our ABC rep, if he is here to help on inventory day, when an amount is way off.
I don't know if that helps or not.
I appreciate the encouraging words--I know I do a good job, but being the perfectionist that I am, I take it too personally when we run out of drugs.
