Adding a Wholesaler
To add a new wholesaler, from the initial Enter Patient Screen, press ALT-U, then M
(for maintenance), then Wholesalers, then click on Edit Wholesaler
You will be presented with the Wholesaler details screen.
Pressing F1 will move to the next wholesaler, F2 will go to the previous wholesaler.
To add a new wholesaler, press F3.
The short code is a 3 character code given to that wholesaler. EG PHD for Phoenix,
UNI for Unichem etc.

The wholesaler name is what the wholesaler is called, and this will be displayed on the order pad.
Account number is your account number with that wholesaler
Screen order is what tab the wholesaler will be on the order pad. EG 1 is the first tab, 2 is the second tab etc.
Modem number is the wholesalers phone number that will accept the orders via a modem. If you need to dial a number to gain an outside line, 9 for example, you can put that before the phone number.
The script file is dependant on the wholesaler, and should be found within the templates directory within ProScript.
EG for Phoenix the script file would be written as: templates\phoenixorder.pss
The same goes for the OOS file: templates\phoenixoos.pss, and again is dependant on the specific wholesaler.
Depot ID is only rarely used, so this should remain blank (unless specifically told to use it)
There are also some options that you can use for each individual wholesaler:
Disable Transfers: Enabling this option will disable the ability to move items from this wholesaler to another one. This will not effect any other wholesalers that do not have this boxed ticked.
Reason Required: This option will enable you to move items from the wholesaler to another one, but will prompt the user to enter a reason as to why the item is to be moved.
