Why is the total wrong when I sell tablets instead of a full strip?

When you sell loose tablets (for example 10 tablets from a strip of 20), the total is calculated from the unit price. If Units were not entered correctly when the stock was purchased, the calculation will be wrong.

Why this happens

At the time of purchase, each item needs the correct Units value (tablets per strip / pack).

Example:

• Strip contains 20 tablets
• Purchase Qty = 1
• Units must be set to 20

If Units is left as 1 or 0, the system treats the whole strip price as the price of one tablet and the bill total becomes incorrect.

How to fix it

Option 1: Update the purchase (recommended if recent)

1. Go to the original purchase bill.
2. Edit the line for that drug.
3. Set the correct Units value (e.g. 20).
4. Save the purchase.

Option 2: Update from Drug List

1. Go to Drugs → Drug List.
2. Switch to Separated View.
3. Find the drug and batch.
4. Click Edit and enter the correct Units.
5. Save.

After Units are corrected, new sales of loose tablets will calculate the unit price correctly.

Quick check while billing

In the Add Sale drug table:

• QTY = number of strips / packs
• TABS = number of loose tablets

If you are selling only tablets, keep QTY at 0 (or blank) and enter the tablet count in TABS.
