Z-Read Assistant

To help make it quicker and easier to count up your money at the end of the day we have now added a simple Z-Read assistant that can be accessed by pressing this button on the Z-Read window:

Clicking this button will open the following window:

From here you just input the amounts for each coin or note (or values if you prefer*) and once you press confirm, the value will be added straight to the Z-Read window for you.

*You can choose whether you wish to input the amount of coins or the value of coins using the two radio buttons at the top of the assistant window.

Script Check In/Out

Lexpos Retailer can now help you keep track of prescriptions coming in to your pharmacy.

To check a prescription into your pharmacy simply click this button on the main sales screen:

After clicking this button, just scan the prescription token/barcode to check it in/out of the system.

Note: The system will automatically record the time/date and will check in the prescription if it is the first scan and check it out if it is the second scan.

To view a complete readout of all prescriptions recorded by the system, simply go to the reports tab and select “Script Check In/Out Report”:

Or select this icon on the main sales screen:

To generate a report use the two panels on the left of the screen to select whether you want to see checked in scripts, checked out scripts or all scripts. Next select the time scale you would like to cover (you can use the “preview” button to get a preview of what the report will look like).

Once you have the preview available you can use the “Send to Report” button at the bottom right if you would like copy of the preview that you can print or save for later.

There is also a search bar at the bottom left of the screen, if you have the prescription to hand you would like find out about, simply scan it into the text box and press search.

Note: Lexpos only tracks the barcode of the prescription, we cannot read/display or access any patient or medical information. This feature is purely to help track when a prescription entered/left the pharmacy.

Clock In/Out

You can now use Lexpos Retailer to record how long you work each day.

To do this simply click the Clock In/Out button on the log in screen:

After clicking this button, scan your log in card or type in your log in code to register that you are clocking in/out of the system.

Note: If you haven’t clocked in, the system will clock you in, if you are already clocked in, the system will clock you out.

To view timing records collected by clocking in/out, simply go to the reports tab and select “Clock In/Out Report”:

Or select this icon on the main sales screen:

To generate a report use the two panels on the left to select which user(s) you would like and the time scale you would like to cover (you can use the “preview” button to get a preview of what the report will look like).

Once you are happy with the user(s) selected and the date range, use the “Send to Report” button to produce a report that tells you how much the user(s) worked throughout the specified date range.

Note: If a user fails to log out on a day, the time sheet/report will be left blank and the report will have to be manually altered to reflect the missing time by signing in as the “Admin” account and selecting the missing day in the preview window (once you select the day, a new button will appear that will allow you manually add a clock out time).

For advanced users:

If you want to have Lexpos adjust clock in/out times to the time the user starts or ends their shift, go to user settings (Setup> Users).

User Settings

From this window you can set the users shift start and end times, if you select the “Enforce Start Time” check box, this will mean that if a user clocks in before their shift start then the time recorded will be the shift start time, not the time they clocked in.

For example, if I user starts their shift at 9:00, but clocks in at 8:42, then the recorded time will be 9:00.

The same will happen for end of shifts if you select the “Enforce End Time” check box, if a users who’s shift ends at 17:00 clocks out at 17:04, the time recorded will be 17:00.
