You can only defer an original script and not repeats. There are two tasks you can perform when deferring scripts; you can either defer a script or fill a previously deferred script.
Deferring a New Script
If you want to defer a script for processing at a later time, follow the general workflow for dispensing Original Scripts, however make sure you select Defer at the bottom of the screen, in place of Dispense.
Deferred Scripts are shown in pale text in Patient History and have a 0 (zero) in the Repeats column where the number of times dispensed is normally shown, for example (1/0).
Filling a Previously Deferred Script
To fill a script deferred previously by your own pharmacy, follow the dispensing workflow for Repeat Scripts and dispense it as you would an Own Repeat.
To fill a script deferred by an outside pharmacy, follow the dispensing workflow for Repeat Scripts and dispense it as you would an Outside Repeat.
