3. Fill the first prescription and retain the printed PDF version for the second prescription.

To process the second prescription:

1. Select the New button from the Workbench.

   The New Prescription window opens.

2. Enter the prescription information to make up the remaining dose of the multi-dose prescription.

3. Scan the printed copy of the e-prescription. Ensure to include appropriate documentation on the paper prescription to support the second prescription as per your existing workflow.
