The terms "main store" and "sub store" in inventory management of medicines can vary depending on the specific organizational structure and practices. However, here are some common interpretations:
Main Store:
- Central Inventory: Often refers to the primary location where medicines are stored and managed in large quantities.
- Warehouse: May be a separate facility or part of a larger healthcare institution.
- Primary Distribution Center: Serves as the hub for distributing medicines to other locations within the organization.
- Key Features:
- Typically holds a wider variety of medicines and larger quantities.
- Responsible for receiving, storing, and distributing medicines to other locations.
- May have more advanced inventory management systems and security measures.
Sub Store:
- Secondary Inventory: Refers to smaller storage locations that are part of the overall inventory system.
- Departmental Store: May be located within specific departments or units of a healthcare facility.
- Satellite Pharmacy: A smaller pharmacy that operates independently but is connected to the main pharmacy for inventory management and replenishment.
- Key Features:
- Holds a more limited selection of medicines, often tailored to the specific needs of the department or unit.
- Receives medicines from the main store for immediate use.
- May have simpler inventory management processes and security measures.
Relationship Between Main Store and Sub Store:
- Inventory Replenishment: Sub stores are typically replenished from the main store as needed.
- Stock Levels: The main store monitors stock levels and ensures that sub stores have adequate supplies.
- Inventory Management Systems: Both main stores and sub stores may use integrated inventory management systems to track stock levels, facilitate ordering, and optimize distribution.
Example:
In a hospital setting, the main store might be located in the central pharmacy department, while sub stores could be found in various departments such as the emergency room, operating room, and patient wards. The main store would receive and store large quantities of medicines, and then distribute them to the sub stores as needed to support patient care.
It's important to note that the specific terminology and organization of main stores and sub stores can vary depending on the size and complexity of the healthcare organization. It's recommended to consult the organization's inventory management policies and procedures for a more accurate understanding of their specific definitions and roles.
Main Store:
- Located at the district or state level, acting as the central distributor.
Sub Store:
- Located at the block or village level for local distribution.

8.Physical Stock Entry
Physical stock entry for medicines is a critical process to ensure the accuracy and reliability of inventory records in healthcare facilities. It involves physically counting the quantity of each medicine on hand and comparing it with the recorded quantity in the inventory system.
Why is Physical Stock Entry Important for Medicines?
- Patient Safety: Accurate inventory records are essential for ensuring that the necessary medicines are available when needed for patient care.
- Medication Errors: Physical stock entry helps prevent medication errors by verifying the quantity of medicines on hand and ensuring that the correct medications are dispensed.
- Compliance: Many healthcare facilities are required to conduct regular physical stock counts for regulatory compliance purposes, such as those related to controlled substances or pharmaceutical quality standards.
- Cost Control: Accurate inventory records help manage costs by identifying discrepancies and preventing losses due to theft, waste, or expiration.

- Medication name
- Dosage form (e.g., tablets, injections)

- Expiration date (if applicable)
- Priority: Indents may indicate the urgency of the request, such as for immediate patient care or to prevent stockouts.
