End of Year process

Reports

The End of Year process must be run between the end of trade on 31 December and the start of trade on 1 January. This process resets Safety Net values in time for the resumption of trade in January. By default, the End of Year process is configured to run automatically. If it fails, the End of Year Process will need to be re-started manually. Historical Safety Net data for the past year is archived for a year, so that you can generate a PRF report for individual patients.

Print the End of Year Patients report

At the resumption of trade in January, Fred Dispense Plus displays an Information message to indicate the End of Year process has run successfully.

  1. Tap View, then Yes to print the End of Year Patients report.

    By default, the Date field is set to 31 December of the previous year.

    Tap No to cancel and return to the Main Dispense screen.

    The End of Year Patients report includes the Patient’s Name, Address, the Safety Net Concession or Entitlement Patients for the Year, sorted by surname in Alphabetical order.

    2. The End of Year Patients report cannot be re-generated. If you require on-going access to this report, you can save the .pdf file to a local folder.

Re-start the End of Year process manually

If the End of Year process has failed, Fred Dispense Plus displays an Information message, either when first logging in at the resumption of trade in January, or when completing a dispensing, if you are already logged in.

In both cases, you must run the End of Year process manually.

  1. Tap Run to process manually.

    The manual process may take 1 - 5 minutes to complete.

    You cannot dispense on any other terminal while it is running.

  2. After the process has run successfully, tap View, then Yes to print the End of Year Patients report.

    — or —

    Tap No to cancel return to the Main Dispense screen.

    3. If the process fails again, Fred Dispense Plus displays a message. Tap OK and contact Fred Support.
