The AviMark inventory module (and the whole software system) can be a bit of a conundrum. But, there are many helpful features, especially when setting up your inventory system. This is none more so than action codes. They have so many helpful functions but exactly how they work can be a bit of a mystery.
Setting up AviMark correctly can be incredibly helpful and can create a significantly more efficient inventory system. With action codes, you can print automatic drug labels, control refills, charge a prescription filling fee, or injection fee. Below you’ll find a table of all of the inventory action codes and what they accomplish.
