Save → Finalize → Approve workflow (optional)
When the configuration option Use Save Finalize Approve Workflow for Issue for Requests is switched on, issuing runs as three steps instead of one: Save Draft on the issue screen, then Finalize and Approve from Pharmacy → Disbursement → Issues → Finalize Issues / Approve Issues. Stock only moves at Approve.
Only one pending draft is allowed per department at a time. If a draft is saved and then left without being finalized or cancelled, the next attempt to issue for any request in that department is stopped with:
There is already a pending fast issue for this department. Finalize or approve it from Disbursement → Issues → Finalize/Approve Issues, or cancel it in the list shown below if it was started by mistake.

The pending draft that is blocking new issues is listed with its creator and status; Cancel Draft retires it so a new issue can start.
The Finalize Issues and Approve Issues recovery screens open with their date filter already set to the last year (not just today), so an old forgotten draft is visible without changing the dates:
Finalize Issues opens with a one-year From Date so older pending drafts are listed straight away.
