Preparing a destruction record for import

Destructions are the outflow that's easiest to forget — expired, recalled, or returned controlled stock removed from inventory. Recording them keeps your expected on-hand honest and prevents false shortages.

Two ways to record

• One at a time — open Destructions and use Add destruction for a single DIN, quantity, date, and method.
• In bulk — prepare a CSV and use Import destruction from CSV.

CSV columns

• Date — when the stock was destroyed or returned (YYYY-MM-DD or Mon DD, YYYY).
• DIN — the drug's DIN (unknown DINs are added automatically).
• Quantity — units destroyed (decimals allowed).
• Method (optional) — e.g. reverse distributor, on-site denaturing, returned to supplier.

Where the data comes from

Most pharmacies keep a destruction log or a reverse-distributor manifest. Copy those rows into the four columns above, save as CSV, and import. Every entry stays editable afterward, with a full audit trail of any change.
