GPP Pharmacy POS Software Compliant with Circular 12 BYT 2026

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?

#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.

• Batch/Expiry Management: Each incoming drug batch must record batch number, expiry date, manufacturer; automatic alert 30 days before expiry.
• Detailed Prescriptions: Retail receipts must include drug name, dosage, usage instructions, batch number, and expiry date.
• Inventory Reports: Generate daily/weekly/monthly reports on quantities received, sold, and in stock for each drug.
• National Drug Database Connectivity: Automatic connection with the national database to update circulating drug lists and reference prices.
• Digital Record Storage: All documents (receipts, purchase orders, reports) must be stored electronically and printable for inspections.

#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.

1. Fast Drug Search: Enter generic name, trade name, or drug code → system displays available drugs with price, expiry, and current batch.
2. Automatic Dosage Fill: Software suggests standard dosages from National Drug Database (e.g., Paracetamol 500mg: 1-2 tablets/dose, 3-4 times/day).
3. Drug Interaction Alerts: When prescribing dangerous drug combinations, system alerts the pharmacist for safe customer consultation.
4. 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.
