DrugPak Program Updates

Updates to version 6 have been posted as recently as 03/04/2009
Make Invoicing Easier with DP Billing

DP Billing has always been the most popular add-on module for DrugPak and it is easy to see why: every business needs to invoice their clients and DP Billing makes it easy!
 
DP Billing was the first add-on module for DrugPak and as we said, it continues to be the most popular add-on.  The simple idea is that you setup your prices in DP Billing and enter your results into DrugPak.  With a few easy steps, DP Billing combines your prices together with your result records and creates accurate, easy-to-read invoices.
 
Various Prices
It is normal for organizations in the substance abuse testing industry to have a wide variety of prices depending on result volume, types of services, and special arrangements.  DP Billing can address all kinds of price variations from the simple to the complex.  If you charge different prices for pre-employment testing or random selections, for DOT or non-mandated testing, and/or based on any other factors, DP Billing makes it easy to setup your price schedule and calculate your invoices.  If your prices depend on which laboratory or collection site is used, all charges can be computed automatically.  If one client gets a different price than others you can easily customize their price.  Advanced features make it possible to compute prices on other variables including what time the collection was performed, which MRO verified the result, and even customizable values!
 
Invoice Layouts
DP Billing allows various formats for the invoice such as grouping, subtotaling, and custom layouts.  The detail text can be customized to your (or your clients') requirements (e.g. display SSN-masked or plain, CCF# and name, just CCF#, or a combination of many variables).
 
Export to Accounts Receivable
Once your invoices are ready to send to your clients you can also send the invoice data to your accounting software.  DP Billing is equipped with export functions compatible with Peachtree Accounting, QuickBooks, and custom solutions can be created for other accounting packages.  When you receive payment on your invoices, your A/R software will already be waiting for them!

July 3rd Holiday
The offices of DrugPak will be closed on Friday July 3rd in observance of the U.S. 4th of July holiday.  We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and stay safe!
 
The Merge Locations Tool IMPORTANT
 
There is a handy tool in DrugPak version 6 that makes it possible to merge two collection sites, or two home bases or two laboratories.  For example, say you are entering a result that was collected at Center Collections, and you cannot find that collection site in DrugPak.  Of course you would add that collection site and then go ahead with entering the result.  Then a month later while reviewing your results you find out that Center Collections is also known as Collections of Centre County, and that collection site is already in DrugPak.  Now you have two records for the same place.  The best way to clean up your DrugPak data is to use the Merge Locations tool.
 
In the Tools menu, Advanced, look for Merge Locations, and then select Collection Sites.  Select the site that you want to remove as the "Old Location" and the one that you want to keep as the "Merge Into".  Normally you would also want to delete the extra one, so turn on the check box to "Delete Old Location".  Click OK and then all of the results and other DrugPak records that referenced the old location will now be switched to the new one.

DrugPak.com e-mail

Effective May 15, 2009, DrugPak staff members are no longer receiving e-mail through "scanlonassociates.com" addresses.

DrugPak staff have been using "drugpak.com" e-mail addresses for several years now. During this time all "scanlonassociates.com" e-mail has been automatically forwarded to our "drugpak.com" mailboxes.

E-mail addressed to DrugPak staff members must be addressed to drugpak.com or they will not reach the intended recipient, and no error message will be returned.

This change was originally announced in the May DrugPak newsletter and this is only a reminder.

Please check your address book(s) for "scanlonassociates.com" addresses and change them to "drugpak.com". Thank you!
