RunMyPharmacy supplier management interface

Full supply-chain visibility from draft to delivery

Supplier profiles

Store contact details, payment terms, lead times, and notes for every supplier in one place.

Purchase order creation

Draft purchase orders directly from low-stock alerts or manually — then send, confirm, and track each order to delivery.

Stock receiving workflow

When deliveries arrive, mark items as received and your inventory updates automatically. No manual counting entry.

Invoice reconciliation

Compare what you ordered to what arrived and flag discrepancies before they become accounting problems.

Purchase history

Review all past orders per supplier to negotiate better terms and identify unreliable vendors.

Low-stock triggered ordering

When a product drops below its threshold, you can create a purchase order in seconds from the alert itself.

Supplier management connects your whole operation

Supplier data feeds directly into inventory management and batch & expiry tracking. Use analytics to compare supplier performance and spot purchasing trends.

Benefits of keeping suppliers in your pharmacy system

One place for supplier details

No more searching phones and notebooks for a rep’s number.

Purchases linked to stock

Deliveries update inventory, so what you paid for and what you hold always match.

Clear purchase history

Every order keeps its supplier, invoice number, status and items for later reference.

Better negotiations

Knowing your spend per supplier helps when you discuss prices and terms.

Frequently asked questions

Can I record supplier invoice numbers?

Yes. Each purchase order stores the supplier’s invoice number for reconciliation.

Does receiving a delivery update stock?

Yes. Marking a purchase order as delivered adds its items to inventory. Changing it back reverses that update.

Who can manage suppliers?

Supplier management is available to roles with purchasing permission, such as Admin and Manager.

Keep pharmacy supplier records useful

Supplier management helps connect orders and deliveries to the correct vendor. Buying decisions still need verified credentials, agreed terms and a clear record of delivery problems.

  1. Keep supplier contact details and purchasing records together.
  2. Confirm lead times, invoice terms and medicine return arrangements directly with the supplier.
  3. Review recurring shortages and delivery exceptions before placing the next order.
