GPP-standard pharmacy POS software is a pharmaceutical retail management tool that integrates batch/expiry management, detailed prescription handling, and inventory reports according to the Ministry of Health's GPP (Good Pharmacy Practice) standards. From 2026, Circular 12 BYT requires all GPP pharmacies to use software connected to the National Drug Database, automatically alert about soon-to-expire drugs, and maintain complete digital records — this is no longer optional but a legal mandate.
What is GPP Pharmacy POS Software?
GPP pharmacy POS software is a specialized point-of-sale management system for pharmaceuticals, integrating batch/expiry management, dosage-based prescriptions, automatic expiry alerts, National Drug Database connectivity, and 100% GPP-compliant reporting. Unlike general retail POS, pharmacy software supports professional pharmaceutical skills (diverse units of measure, drug interactions, dosages) and complies with Ministry of Health legal regulations.
What are the Key Requirements of Circular 12 BYT for GPP Pharmacies?


Circular 12 BYT 2026 requires GPP pharmacies to manage each drug batch in detail (batch number, expiry date, manufacturer), issue prescriptions with specific dosages on receipts, alert when drugs are about to expire, store daily inventory reports, and automatically connect with the National Drug Administration to update circulating drug data.

How Does Việt POS POS Software Support Prescription Management?

Việt POS POS software provides an intuitive prescription interface with fast drug search by generic/trade name, automatic dosage fill from reference data, detailed dosage printing on receipts, and dangerous drug interaction alerts. Pharmacists can prescribe in diverse units (tablets, vials, packs) without manual conversion.
- Fast Drug Search: Enter generic name, trade name, or drug code → system displays available drugs with price, expiry, and current batch.
- Automatic Dosage Fill: Software suggests standard dosages from National Drug Database (e.g., Paracetamol 500mg: 1-2 tablets/dose, 3-4 times/day).
- Drug Interaction Alerts: When prescribing dangerous drug combinations, system alerts the pharmacist for safe customer consultation.
- Dosage Printing on Receipts: Receipt automatically prints drug name, dosage, usage instructions, batch number, and expiry date — 100% compliant.
How Does Automatic Expiry Management Help Avoid Inspections?

Việt POS POS software tracks the expiry of each drug batch, alerts 30 days before expiry, generates a list of soon-to-expire drugs for timely pharmacist action, and automatically removes expired drugs from sale. During inspections, pharmacists have detailed reports on sold drugs, current inventory, and no expired drugs found on shelves.
| Feature | Description | Benefit for Pharmacy |
|---|---|---|
| 30-Day Expiry Alert | System automatically displays list of drugs expiring within the next 30 days | Pharmacist has time to handle (promotional sale, return to supplier, disposal) before expiry |
| Expired Drug Report | Generates detailed report of expired drugs (expiry date, batch, quantity) | During inspections, provides documentation proving proper handling per regulations |
| Block Sale of Expired Drugs | Software automatically blocks sale when drug is expired, even if pharmacist forgets to remove from shelf | Prevents accidental sale of expired drugs, avoiding legal risk |
How Are Inventory Reports per Circular 12 BYT Generated Automatically?

Việt POS POS software automatically records each drug receipt/sale transaction, calculates real-time inventory, and generates daily/weekly/monthly inventory reports including quantities received, sold, returned, disposed, and ending stock — all data compliant with the Ministry of Health's GPP report format.
- Daily Report: Summarizes receipt/sale/stock for each drug during the day, printable for signature and storage.
- Monthly Report: Detailed receipt/sale/stock for each drug, compared with actual inventory (physical count).
- Slow-Moving Drug Report: Identifies drugs not sold for a long time to suggest return to supplier or disposal.
- Inventory Forecast Report: Predicts stock levels for the next 1-3 months for optimal ordering, avoiding stockouts or overstock.
How Does Automatic National Drug Database Connectivity Ensure Compliance?
Việt POS POS software integrates an API connecting to the National Drug Database, automatically updating the list of circulating drugs, reference prices, and sending daily/weekly sales reports to the national system. Pharmacies do not need manual declarations, reducing errors and ensuring data is always synchronized with regulatory authorities.
Common Mistakes When Choosing Pharmacy POS Software

1. Choosing General Retail POS: Many pharmacy owners buy cheap supermarket POS that does not support batch/expiry management or detailed prescriptions → fined during inspections for non-compliance with GPP.
2. Not Checking National Drug Database Connectivity: Software without automatic connectivity → pharmacist must manually declare, slow and error-prone.
3. Ignoring Expiry Alerts: Choosing software without expiry alert feature → expired drugs can still be sold, creating legal risk during inspections.
4. Unclear Record Storage: Software does not store electronic records completely or cannot print reports when needed → no evidence of compliance.
5. No Support for Diverse Units: Software only manages simple quantities (tablets/vials) → when selling by pack or dosage, cannot calculate accurately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GPP pharmacy POS software mandatory?
According to Circular 12 BYT 2026, all GPP pharmacies must use management software connected to the National Drug Database for batch/expiry management, detailed prescriptions, and inventory reports. This is no longer optional but a mandatory legal requirement. Non-compliant pharmacies will face warnings, fines, or temporary suspension of operations.
Does Việt POS POS software connect to the National Drug Database?
Yes. Việt POS POS software integrates an API connecting to the National Drug Database, automatically updating circulating drug lists, reference prices, and sending daily sales reports to the national system. Pharmacies do not need manual declarations, ensuring data always complies with regulations.
How far in advance should expiry alerts be set?
According to GPP regulations, alerts should be set 30 days before drug expiry. Việt POS POS software automatically alerts 30 days in advance, giving pharmacists time to handle (promotional sale, return to supplier, disposal) before the drug expires and creates inspection risk.
