Displayed Price Doesn't Include Linked Fee
We're running into a problem associated with the display of prices (well my nurses are, which means I am ).
Scenario: client rings up, "need to pick up a repeat of Neomercazole - how much so I can send my spouse/child/workmate down with the money to collect it." Nurse clicks Products | Select | neome and Neomercazole pops up - nurse reads off price $33.64, tells client $33.60 (nurse-operated rounding function).
Client arrives to collect drug, invoice is generated and says "$43.64". Now heat, as well as invoice, is generated !
The issue is that Neomercazole has a dispensing fee of $10 attached, but that's not evident when you look at the product. You need to click on the product, then click on the Linked tab to see that there is a Dispensing Fee attached.
This, to a considerable degree, negates the usefulness of a Linked price as we've all got to remember to do the extra clicks to see if a product has a linked fee (and aren't we all agin "extra clicks"?). This could also apply to investigations that have a linked Specimen Dispatching Fee.
Is there a way to display the Linked Fee in an additional column (or a total fee column)?

I agree with Yuri, that would be a great feature to be added to Open
Re: Displayed Price Doesn't Include Linked Fee
...... can it be done (rattles loose change in pocket, encouragingly!)?
Re: Displayed Price Doesn't Include Linked Fee
Hi Yuri,
Can definitely be done ..
Did you see my other comment about using OTC to do price calcualtions ?
"Hi Yuri,
Yes, the product search list not include the linked fee only fixed and unit prices currently. Search browser needs to updated to support linked fees.
Suggestion use OTC to do adhoc price calculations select product and displays fixed (linked), unit and total and also allows you to do quantity calcs and price up multiple products. Cancel OTC when completed..
Cheers Tony "
