Pharmacy Configuration and Privileges

This section describes the configuration options and privileges required for managing pharmacy-related pages. It is intended for System Administrators.

Inpatient Medication Management

Issue Medicines for Ward Requests (BHT Issue Requests)

Pages: /ward/ward_pharmacy_bht_issue_request_list_for_issue.xhtml, /ward/ward_pharmacy_bht_issue.xhtml, /ward/ward_pharmacy_reprint_bht_issue_request.xhtml Navigation: Menu ▸ Pharmacy ▸ Inpatient Medication Management ▸ BHT Issue Requests

Configuration Options:

  • Manage Costing

Privileges Required:

  • PharmacyBhtIssueRequest
  • PharmacyBhtRequestForceComplete (optional — see below)

Behavior:

  • Each request line shows how much remains to be issued (requested quantity minus quantities already issued, net of any cancellations/returns of earlier issues against the same request). Entering a quantity greater than what remains is automatically capped to the remaining amount, with a warning message.
  • When every line on a request has been fully issued, the request is automatically marked both fully issued and completed (with a timestamp and the issuing user recorded), and it no longer appears in the list of requests awaiting issue. There is no manual checkbox for this — it happens automatically as soon as the last item is issued.
  • A pharmacist holding the PharmacyBhtRequestForceComplete privilege can force a request straight to Completed status even when it has only been partially issued. This is done from the request's View Request page (/ward/ward_pharmacy_reprint_bht_issue_request.xhtml, reached via View Pharmacy Requests or BHT Issue Request List) using the "Mark as Complete" button — typically used to let a patient's discharge proceed when the remaining requested items are no longer needed. Users without the privilege see the button disabled (greyed out). Once a request is completed — whether automatically or by force-complete — the button stays disabled and a "Completed" tag appears next to the page title, and no further issuing is allowed against the request.

Disposal

Note: As of July 2026, the main menu item and page labels for this feature show "Consumption" instead of "Disposal", though the underlying feature/URL and privilege names are unchanged.

Recent Fixes (July 2026)

Server-side privilege guards were added across the GRN/GRN-Return, Purchase Order, Disbursement/Transfer, and Discard/Disposal workflows — previously several of these controllers had no hasPrivilege checks at all, so a user without the page-level privilege could still trigger the underlying save/finalize/approve/cancel action directly. New privileges introduced: PharmacyReceiveSave, PharmacyTransferIssueCancel, PharmacyTransferReceiveCancel, InwardPharmacyBhtReceive, InwardPharmacyReturnSubmit. A user without the Finalize privilege on the Disbursement/Transfer request page can no longer finalize a save-only draft. (Issue #21994 and children #22019–#22022, Issue #14869; PRs #22024, #22025, #22026, #22027)
