These are responsible for:
- submitting orders for Medication and Merchandise products to an external pharmacy, during invoicing
- generating Pharmacy Orders and Returns when the pharmacy dispenses products.
The fields are as follows:
| Id | the Pharmacy identifier |

| Active | uncheck this box to deactivate the Pharmacy. Deactivating the Pharmacy prevents orders being placed and dispense messages received. |

| Dispense Connector | the connector used to receive dispense messages from the Pharmacy. Not applicable when One Way is selected. |
