Placing a Prescription on Hold

You can enter a prescription and put it on hold to be filled at a later time. Once you put a prescription on hold, you cannot modify the prescription unless you amend it. The vial copy of the Hold label set indicates the date the prescription was placed on hold.

When the Hold prescription is finally dispensed, the File Copy indicates Prev. On Hold to identify the prescription as previously on Hold. If you need to reference the original prescription, the Rx# for the Hold is the AU number of the top of the File Copy.

To place a prescription on hold, do the following

1. Open a prescription in Rx Detail.
2. Enter the prescription information.
3. Press the Hold button.

The prescription is placed on the Workbench Completed tab with the status Hold. The label set prints a file copy and vial copy; the vial copy indicates the date the prescription was placed on Hold.
