Update method, Drug file

 

[Revised Oct 02]

 

 

The monthly updates change the drug data at field (line) level.

This means that if one piece of data on a particular drug changes and is sent out in the monthly update, ONLY that price of data is changed.

This makes it practical for users who like to set their own premiums, as their choice of premiums will only be overwritten if the schedule cost or supplier cost changes.

See 'Premium markup' for calculation.
