All pharmacy businesses know about the importance of maintaining proper records of medicines stock. The strict laws by the drug regulatory authority require not just proper batch and expiry management of medicines but also make it mandatory to adhere to the rules laid down for the stock and sale of controlled drugs.

It is thus extremely important to keep track of all your purchases and sales of medicine.

What is Vendor Invoice & Why It Is Important in Pharmacy Business?

A vendor invoice is an invoice that you receive with  your medical supplies from a supplier. The invoice lists the medicines, their quantity, and the total amount owed to the supplier.

The vendor invoice is an important document because it serves as a piece of evidence for the purchases of various types of medicines. These receipts are especially important to keep track of all controlled drugs purchased from different suppliers.

During audits by the drug regulatory authority, the stock purchasing record is tallied with the supplier/ vendor receipt.

Warranty in the Vendor Receipt

Another reason why it is important to save all vendor receipts with the purchase records is the warranty in the receipt.

The warranty is based on section 23 (1) (1) of the drugs Act 1976 and it is a disclaimer that the medicines supplied by the vendor do not contain spurious adulterated, substandard, or expired drugs. This disclaimer is important for pharmacy retailers to forestall any problems in the future.

For example, if faulty medicine batches are found in the market, the drug inspector can ask to check your batches and supplies. The vendor receipts with warranty disclaimers can save you from any untoward problem.
