supplier. A mutual agreement is done between the supplier and the buyer. This
agreement is called contract.
1. Suppliers name and address.
2. Order number, date and the reference number.
3. The detailed specifications of the items and quantity ordered.
4. Rate and the amount.
5. Mode and date of delivery
6. Packing and forwarding instructions.
7. Mode of payment and the terms of payment
8. Signature of the official authorized to place order.
Storage:
The drugs are stored in a drug store must be arranged in such a way that they are easily
traceable as and when required. For this purpose following methods are used
1. According to manufacturers:
The drugs are arranged in a drug store manufacturer wise. For example the drugs manufactured by
Glaxo(India) Ltd. are placed at one place i.e.in one cupboard.
2.According to pharmacological action:
In this method medicines are divided according to their pharmacological actions and drugs of one
group are placed at on placed in one cupboard likewise drugs of other groups are stored.
3.Alphabetically:
In this method drugs are placed alphabetically. The drugs with letter ‘A’ are placed in another
cupboard. Out of above methods, storing of drugs manufacturer wise is most popular and
convenient method.
Codification of Various Items of Drug Store
Codification is the process of assigning of code symbol or a number to a particular
material for easy identification.
Advantages of codification
1. Ambiguity in description is avoided.
2. The length in description is minimized.
3. The codes ensures secrecy of items lying in the store.
4. It prevents duplication.
5. It standardizes the purchasing as well as storage.
6. It reduces the varieties.
7. It makes purchasing, recording, accounting, computerizing pricing, costing location,
indexing and inspection efficient and result-producing.
8. It assures planned and quality production.
Methods of Codification
1. Alphabetically method/Letter Code Method :
• In this system, letters are choosen to represents particular classification.
• Alphabet consist of 26 letter.
• So each position in the code has 26 possible letters.
• This method is useful when store contains few items.
• e. g. ’T’ represents Tablet, ’C’ represents Capsule.
• This method is simple but if lacks flexibility and expansion.
1. Mnemonic method:
Main disadvantages of this method is that material can not be identified without making reference to
code index. When we use letters to help memory, we call such a system a mnemonic system.
In this method, letters of the alphabet are used to describe an item.
e. g. ’AT’ represents Aspirin tablet, ‘ATP’ represents Aspirin Tablet of Paracetamol
3.Numerical method/Sequence Method: In this method separate number are given to different
classification of store items. This involves use of following method.
1. Decimal system:
• In this system number are given In such a way that each digit represents subgroups of previous gift.
e.g. Code no.16.1,16.11,16.111 are assigned to three different tablets belonging analgesic group i.e.16.1
represents tablet Analgin,16.11 represent tablet Dispirin and 16.111 represent tablet paracetamol.
• Main advantage is its capacity to expand to accommodate new items.
• Disadvantage is being cumbersome in use.
2. Block System:
In this method no. are reserved for specified classification.
e.g.101-300 are reserved for tablet,301-500 are reserved for capsule.
4. Combination method:
In this method both mnemonic & numerical method are combined to give code to different items.
e.g. Code AT 300 represents Aspirin tablet 300mg and AT 301 is allotted to Aspirin tablet 600mg.
5.Location coding method:
• In big organisations there are large number of stores and each store may be quite large in size.
• So the store rooms are divided in blocks.
• Each block is identified by lateral block letter and a longitudinal letter.
• Within each block every row is divided vertically inti two column and horizontally into shelves.
• Each and every shelf is given a particular number.
• The location of item can be identified from warehouse number, block number, row number,
column number, rack number and shelf number etc.
Pricing of materials:
The price which is going to be charged from customers can be calculated by using one of the following method.
1. First in first out method (FIFO):In this method ,the material which is received 1st are issued 1st .The issues
are priced at cost price of oldest consignments till it get exhausted. As soon as the oldest lot is exhausted,
the issues are priced at the cost price of the next of oldest lot in the sequence. The closing stock is valued at
cost price of latest consignment.
e.g. April 1 2000 unit purchased @ Rs 50 per unit.
April 5 500 unit purchased @ Rs 60 per unit.
April 10 300 units sold.
The issue of 300 units will be priced as under:
From the first lot 200 units @ Rs 50 Rs 10,000.00
Remaining 100 from 2nd lot @ Rs 60 Rs 6000.00
________________
Rs 16,000.00
==================
The issue of 300 units will be price as under-
From 1st lot 200 unit @ 5 = Rs 1000
Remaining 100 units from 2nd lot @ 6 = Rs.600
________________________________________
Rs 1600
The value of closing stock of 400 units will be closed @ 6 i.e.400×6=2400 Rs
2.Last in first out method (LIFO):
In this method price of latest consignment is used for calculating value of issue until that
consignment is exhausted.
e. g. April 1 500 units are purchased @ 5/unit
April 6 300 units are purchased @ 6/unit
April 10 400 unit sold
The issue of 400 units on April 15,will be priced under:
300 units @ 6 =1800
100 units @ 5=500
________________
2300 Rs
=================
The closing stock of 400 units will be price @ Rs 50 i.e.Rs 2000.
3.Average Cost Method: In this method when new stock of goods is received, the total value of goods in stock.
Divided by total quantity in hand will give average price until new stock is received.
Instead of simple average, where only unit cost is considered, weighted average cost can also be use where
along with unit cost, quantity of units is also considered.
e.g. Following two lots where purchased during April 2005.
1000 units @ Rs 3
5000 units @Rs 5
By simple average cost =5+3/2=4
While the weighed average cost could be as under
P(c) = P(s).(1+M/100)
Where,
P(s) = Average Price to Retailer for the same strength and dosage of the medicine as
calculated in step1 above.
M = % Margin to retailer and its value =16 Margin to retailer: While fixing a ceiling price
of scheduled formulations and retail prices of new drugs, sixteen percent of price to
retailer as a margin to retailer shall be allowed.
Maximum retail price:
• The maximum retail price of scheduled formulations shall be fixed by the manufacturers on
the basis of ceiling price notified by the Government plus local taxes wherever applicable, as
under:
• The maximum retail price of a new drug shall be fixed by the manufacturers on the basis of
retail price determined by the Government plus local taxes wherever applicable, as under:
Where,
"R.P." means retail price;
"M.C." means material cost and includes the cost of drugs and other pharmaceutical aids
used.
"C.C." means conversion cost worked out in accordance with established procedures
"P.M." means cost of the packing material used in the packing of formulation, including
process loss.
"P.C." means packing charges worked out in accordance with established procedures of
costing.
"MAPE" Maximum Allowable Post-manufacturing Expenses
"E.D." means excise duty: Provided that in the case of an imported formulation.
