Details

Item Unit

Represents the name of the product unit.

Item Type

Represents the product type. This can be either Bottle, Vial, Carton, Device, or any other custom type.

Expiry Buffer (days)

Represents the buffer days before the product expires. If a product expires in N days, which is less than the expiry buffer days, the system does not use the product for dispensing and shipping.

Shipment Buffer (days)

Represents the number of days to be established as a threshold between the shipment of the drug and its expiration date. This helps avoid situations where the item expires before even being delivered to its destination.
