2.  When dispensing device(s) with a prescription and using the strict inventory system, the inventory system will now ask for the lot number.  Select the lot number by using the drop down list.  The inventory system will subtract the device amounts from the total inventory and the specific inventory item.  If you cancel a dispensing or delete a prescription you must manually adjust the device inventory.

3.  New feature for VITAMIN ROOM pharmacy.  In options->log setup tab.   Ask to process log inventory.  If this is checked then you can make a log without adjusting inventory.  THIS IS SPECIFIC TO the VITAMIN ROOM pharmacy.  If you are not sure about this then DO NOT CHECK this as it can through off your inventory for chemicals and devices.

4.  The pharmacy's information is now printed on the patient SOAP notes report.

5.  In formula edit on the instructions tab there is a new drop down list.   "Insert Compound information into instructions".  This allows you to store preloaded instruction templates and other pieces of information in the Compounding Information table and then to quickly load it into the instructions for the current formula  Use the drop down list and select the compounding information that you want to insert.  You can then confirm if you want to add it to the current formula instructions.   This can be used in NJ to load the states compounded Rx tracking document to the formula.

8.  When filled a new Rx when using Calculate Refills From Quantity owing has been fixed.

9.  Log of Scripts report: You can now filter by insurance group.  This allows you to group insurances together and then view a log of scripts for only those insurances in the selected group.

10.  A calculation of ingredient costs during a log has been corrected.  The original calculated cost may be off under certain conditions.  If you pressed the Calculate costs button then it will be correct.  This fixes the original calculated cost.

11.  Corrected sales tax for OTC items.  This was broken in the 2.1.0.10 update.

12.  We have added more sorting capabilities to the log of scripts report. 
     1.  By doctor name (last, first).
     2.  By insurance name. 
     3.  By doctor practice type  (practice type, last name, first name, date filled).

13.  The ASAP report now asks if you want to print a blank report.  Some states require that you send in information even if there are no prescriptions in the ASAP report.

14.  On the HCFA 1500 form we've added support for #14 Date of current.    This date is obtained from the patient's insurance HCFA window.

15.  On the HCFA 1500 form we've added support for #24B & 24C.  In previous versions, these were hard coded as 12 & 9.  Now it will get these values from the patient's insurance HCFA window. 

16.  On the HCFA 1500 form we've made it an option to print  the drug name and Rx number in the 24K Reserved for local use.  When printing the HCFA claims, you will be asked if you want to print this information in the #24K Local use field.

17.  On the HCFA 1500 form we've moved the laser/old style print label down to the bottom right of the form.  This is a label that described what type of form was selected in the insurance that was printed.

27.  The ASAP report now takes out any hyphens "-" in the NDC number before creating the ASAP file.  We do not recommend adding - in the formula NDC number(s), but if you already have -'s in the NDC number we now take them out for compatibilities reasons for the ASAP report.

28.  The ASAP report now checks for '-' in the Triplicate Serial numbers on prescriptions.  If a '-' is found then it is taken out before it is added to the ASAP report.

29.  If in Options you have setup to print the patient's shipping address and the shipping address line #1 is blank then it will default back to the patient's regular address.

30.  The ASAP report now allows for quantity dispensed in real numbers.  In previous versions it would round to the nearest whole number.  If you dispensed 0.3 then it would fill in 00000 for the quantity on the report.

31.  If you select to print ALL formulas in the formula inventory report it now prints all negative, 0 and positive inventories for the formulas.

32.  If you select to print ALL chemicals in the chemical inventory report it now prints all negative, 0 and positive inventories for the chemicals.

33.  There is a new utility to help adjust formula pricing.   If you have the security module activated then a user must have security clearance for Options to use this price update utility.  Go to  File->Data file utilities->Formula->Pricing->Adjust unit AWP/quantity pricing by chemical.   This utility allows you to adjust the unit awp and or quantity pricing by a dollar amount or percentage for all formulas that contain a specified chemical.  Select the chemical then select what you want to update (unit awp and/or quantity pricing).   Then select to adjust by a percentage or dollar amount.   When you press OK you will be asked to confirm you choices.   After you confirm your choice the price update will start.

49.  Fixed the A/R calculation of service charges.   In some cases it was possible to add a service charge when it should not be applied.  This also makes the statements print the correct statement note (30, 60, 90 day, > 120 day notes).

50.  Added a new function to go through the database and correct any rounding problems that occurred prior to the 2.1.0.14 update.  If you printed a report and the total was off by 0.01 then its a rounding problem.    You can run this program to correct any rounding issues.  Prescriptions filled after the 2.1.0.14 update are not affected by this.

15.  When making a new from old Rx, the system will now copy the information from the Misc. tab.  You will need to confirm that you want to copy the Triplicate ID.   If you select the Triplicate ID the program will place "Old: " in front of the Triplicate ID.  The Person Pickup ID is not copied.
16.  There was a way to refill a CII prescription by adding & canceling certain refill combinations.  This has been corrected.

18.  You can have up to 8 of The Compounders opened on the same computer at the same time.
This can use a lot of the computers resource so unless you are running Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP this is not recommended.   Many pharmacies will have two sessions opened at the same time.   Then press Alt+Tab & Alt-Shift-Tab to go between the programs.  This is nice if you are working on a prescription and another patient calls in for a refill.  By switching to the other program you can continue your work.
19.  When making a log entry all devices are now rounded to the next highest number.
20.  Purging logs or Rxs:   Before you purge prescriptions or logs you should:
    a.  Check the version of The Compounder and write it down:
    b.  Make sure that you have The Compounder CD for your version.
    c.  Make a copy of your CMPDWIN.DAT file.
    d.  Store The Compounder CD, CMPDWIN.DAT file in a safe location.
    e.  Do backup & restore of the CMPDWIN.DAT file.
    f.  Do the purge.
This will create an archive of your data if it is needed at a later date.
21.  There is a new batch label (thermal & regular).  It uses the Avery 5160 format.  It combines, pharmacy name, address, formula name, lot #, exp. date, packaging note, pharmacy and active ingredients.
22.  In the ASAP report, if the users in TX typed in TX rather than using the drop down list the report would not be formatted correctly.  This is fixed.
23.  The field SSN has be renames to SSN, DL, State DI, misc.   This if the patient identifier field that is used in the ASAP reporting.  Check with your state to see which patient identifier information they want transmitted to them for the controlled substance report.
24.  The Address buttons that are available during editing a patient or a doctor now allows special formatting of the address information.  It allows the same formatting as the mailing labels. This is also available on the Rx History screen.
25.  The batch label (Formula wrapping) has been changed to allow for better control in wrapping the formula name, strength and form.  If the name, strength and form were too long, it was truncated and would print nothing.
26.  Bug Fix:  When making a log and the user selected the ingredient lot # using the drop down list would blank out the current chemical inventory information in the chemical database.  This will keep inventory records correct.  This only occurred if you the user was using two lot numbers for the same ingredient.
27.  There are some new fields in the patient information for HIPAA.    Privacy notice, privacy notice date, initials and note.  The privacy notice should be checked when the patient has received the pharmacies patient privacy information, the privacy date is the date when the patient received the privacy notice, the initials are the initials of the person that gave the patient the pharmacy's patient privacy notice and the note is a simple note field for the pharmacy's use.    These fields are used to track the pharmacy's HIPAA compliance.
28.  Added support for the new Michigan ASAP electronic report.  Michigan wants 1=Males 2=Females  3=Animals  4=Other.

34.  Added support for the new Texas Worker's Compensation TWCC66a report in prescription claims.   Note:  It will print the BILLING NDC in the NDC field.   If the formula dispensed is marked as a compound and the BILLING NDC is blank it will printer the following message in the NDC field: "NO NDC, Compounded Med."
35.  Added support for the RxFill_ID and a new field CMRxFill_ID to the Rx label.  The CMRxFill_ID adds "CM" to the front of the RxFill_ID.  This is used for custom integration with a Point of Sale (POS) module.  
36.  2.1.0.7 Corrects a bug that was introduced in 2.1.0.6.  If you were using "calculate refills based off of qty owing" and you did a new Rx with zero refills you would get a false warning message.
37.  There is now a default setting button for setting up insurances with the NCPDP 5.1.  Please note that since every insurance company can request different information it make setting a default button for all insurance companies nearly impossible.  The default setting button will select most fields that will be required by most of the insurance companies.  You will need to contact each insurance company to see what they require.
38.  In Options under Rx Setup #2 there are two new fields to help with HIPAA compliance.   The first field is "Must have privacy noteice before filling Rx"  If this is check then you will get a warning for those patients that have not yet received your pharmacy's Notice of Privacy Practices.   The next field has two values.  Force Privacy Notice Before Fill and Warn if No Privacy Notice.   If the first is value is selected then you will not be able to fill an new or refill prescirption until that patient's privacy notice has been checked.

42.  Add a new field in the Rx label  Prescription->C_HIPAA_FILLDATE_TODAY DATE.  This is to be used with the DBCheckBox.  The values are T or F.  If a you are filling a prescription for a patient and you just entered in their privacy information (today's date), when the label prints out the DBCheck box on the label will not be checked.  This means that you need to make a good faith effort to get the patient's privancy notice.   If you fill a prescription on another day where the date dispensed is different from the date of the patient's privact notice then the DBCheckBox will be checked.  Contact support if you have any questions on this.
43.  On the adding/editing patient screen there is a new tab called Release.  It contains information about tracking medical release records.
The fields are:  1. Medical records released to  2. Relationship  3. ID type   4. ID  5. Start date. and 6.  End date.
44.  Fixed a bug for online billing that was introduced in 2.1.0.6.  If you are using RSI for internet billing then you will need this update.   We were putting a TEST.CLM file in the RSI folder which caused RSI to lockup.
45.  3/6/02:  We took out the copying of a triplicate # when making a new from an old Rx.  In version 3 we will make this an Option.

1.  When editing an item that was checked into the chemical inventory system, you can now edit the amount remaining.

2.  When adding or editing an item that was checked into the chemical inventory system, if the chemical is linked through a sub formula then it will update the formula’s stock on hand as well as the chemical’s stock on hand.

3.  In Options under logs there is a new option “Don’t get chemical lot #, expiration date, mfg., or wholesaler while logging”.  If this is checked then the system will not get the information from the chemical file.   This is useful is you want your personnel to hand enter the lot numbers, expiration dates, etc. for each chemical.

4.  In Options under logs there is a new option “Select lot # from inventory based on 1st to expire”.  If this is checked then the system will look at all of the items checked into the chemical inventory system and find the first item to expire and use it for the current log.  If the Option “Don’t get chemical lot #, expiration date, mfg., or wholesaler while logging” is checked then it will blank out all of the chemical information.

5.  The A/R module now uses the Windows setting for the regional options for currency.    I.e. If the Windows settings are set to show negative numbers like (50.00) the then A/R system will show them the same.   If the Windows settings are set to show negative numbers like -$50.00 the then A/R system will show them the same.

6.  If a chemical in a formula does not have a unit code assigned to it, then it will not be shown in the log.   A formula is checked for chemicals that do not have valid units when the formula is saved.

7.  There is a new patient utility that will fix patients with invalid birth dates.   I.e.  if a patient’s birth date was entered as 5/16/2034 and it should have been 5/16/1934, then the utility would fix that.

8.  On the Refill Reminder system, you can now select CII prescriptions, you now have more sorts, and you can select if you want to print your cost on the report.

9.  The log lot number daily counter is now checks the data each time a log is made.  Previously it would only work if The Compounder was restarted each day.

10.  The refill reminder systems no long include prescriptions where the patient is marked as deceased or inactive.

11.  The formula ID is now shown on the logged formula worksheets.

12.  On the new Rx screen whenever you go to the Dispensed tab, the cursor is positioned in the Days Supply field.
