What is Pharmacy & Retail Pharmacy POS?

Build-to-order Odoo pharmacy POS with batch/expiry FEFO, controlled-drug register, prescription dispensing and insurance co-pay. Built to order by ECOSIRE for Odoo 17, 18, 19 — indicative price from $999.00 USD; request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Key Features

Batch and lot tracking on every medicine using Odoo stock lots, with mandatory expiry dates captured at goods-in and enforced through dispensing.
FEFO (First-Expiry-First-Out) dispensing logic that computes each batch's days-to-expiry via @api.depends and auto-suggests the correct lot at the POS so near-expiry stock leaves first.
Prescription capture and dispensing workflow: a custom prescription model linking patient, prescriber, drug, dosage and quantity, with a draft-to-dispensed status flow before the sale is completed.
Controlled/narcotic drug register maintained as its own Odoo model, auto-appending an immutable entry (in/out balance, batch, prescriber, dispensing pharmacist) on every controlled-item movement.
Compliance and audit logs with record-rule-protected register entries and QWeb-printable narcotic register reports formatted for regulatory inspection.
Multi-branch pharmacy stock transfers built on Odoo internal transfers, with per-branch warehouses, min/max reorder rules and lot-level traceability across locations.
POS with insurance co-pay: a computed split between patient-payable and insurer-payable amounts per line, capturing scheme, member ID and approval reference at the till.
Salt/generic substitution: link brands by active ingredient (salt) so cashiers can offer an equivalent generic and log the substitution against the original prescription line.
Near-expiry and expired-stock alerts via scheduled automated actions that raise activities or emails to branch managers and block sale of expired lots.
Role-based security through ir.model.access.csv and record rules for cashier, pharmacist, branch manager and compliance-officer profiles, restricting who can dispense controlled drugs or edit the register.
Dispensing labels and receipts via QWeb: patient-name label with dosage instructions, batch and expiry printed at point of dispense.
XML-RPC / JSON-RPC endpoints kept open for integration with e-prescription systems, national drug databases, insurance eligibility checks or a patient-facing app.
Supports Odoo 17, 18 and 19 on Community or Enterprise, delivered as a proper module with its own __manifest__.py and clean dependency declarations.

About this Product

Pharmacy & Retail Pharmacy POS is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports for your retail, hospital or chain pharmacy — this is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download you install yourself. After you purchase, our Odoo engineers scope your dispensing rules, regulatory register format and insurance mix, then deliver a production-ready module on your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 instance (Community or Enterprise) within a typical one working week lead time.

Standard Odoo POS and inventory were never built for pharmacy. A pharmacy needs strict batch and expiry control so the oldest safe stock leaves first, a legally defensible controlled-drug register, a prescription workflow that ties a dispense to a prescriber and patient, and a till that understands insurance co-pay and generic substitution. This module layers all of that onto Odoo's proven stock, point_of_sale and product foundations rather than replacing them — so accounting, purchasing, valuation and multi-company all keep working the way Odoo intends.

Under the hood we extend Odoo's ORM cleanly: custom models built on models.Model for the controlled-drug register, prescription and dispensing records; computed fields with @api.depends for days-to-expiry, FEFO priority and co-pay splits; access control through ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so a cashier, pharmacist and branch manager each see only what their role permits; OWL/XML views and POS screen extensions for the dispensing and substitution flow; and QWeb reports for the narcotic register, dispensing labels and expiry reports. Automated actions and scheduled server actions flag near-expiry batches and reconcile the controlled-drug register, and the JSON-RPC/XML-RPC API stays fully available for e-prescription gateways, national drug databases or a patient app.

You get more than code. ECOSIRE hands over the installed module, a configured pharmacy environment matched to your branches and drug schedules, admin and pharmacist documentation, live training, and a warranty support window — with paid support and Odoo version-upgrade options after that. Everything is scoped to your jurisdiction's controlled-substance rules and your insurer contracts, so what ships fits how your pharmacy actually dispenses.

What you get

  • The complete build-to-order Odoo module source (models, views, security, QWeb reports, POS extensions) with a clean __manifest__.py, installed on your Odoo 17/18/19 instance.
  • A configured pharmacy environment: your branches as warehouses, drug schedules, controlled-substance categories, reorder rules and insurance schemes set up to match your operation.
  • ir.model.access.csv and record rules pre-configured for your cashier, pharmacist, branch-manager and compliance roles.
  • QWeb report templates for the controlled-drug register, dispensing labels and expiry/stock reports, styled and ready to print.
  • Admin and pharmacist user documentation plus a short configuration/runbook guide for your IT team.
  • Live training session(s) for pharmacists, cashiers and managers, with a recording for future staff onboarding.
  • A post-go-live warranty support window for defect fixes, with an optional ongoing support and Odoo version-upgrade retainer.
  • A scoping/requirements document confirming your jurisdiction's controlled-drug rules and insurer setup, signed off before build begins.

Who this is for

Independent retail pharmacy owner

Runs one or two community pharmacies and needs a till that enforces expiry control, prints compliant dispensing labels and keeps a defensible controlled-drug register without paying for a heavyweight hospital system.

Hospital pharmacy manager

Manages inward and outpatient dispensing where prescription-to-patient traceability, batch recall readiness and narcotic register accuracy are non-negotiable for audits and accreditation.

Pharmacy chain operations director

Oversees many branches on one Odoo backend and needs inter-branch stock transfers, per-branch FEFO discipline, consolidated controlled-drug reporting and role-based access across the whole estate.

Compliance / inspection officer

Responsible for regulatory readiness; needs immutable register logs, printable narcotic reports and clear evidence of who dispensed which batch to whom, on demand.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pharmacy & Retail Pharmacy POS

Is this an instant download I can install myself?

No. This is a build-to-order module that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and configures for you — it is not an apps.odoo.com download. After purchase we scope your dispensing rules, controlled-drug schedules and insurance mix, then deliver a production-ready module on your own Odoo instance.

How long does delivery take?

Typical lead time is one working week from the scoping sign-off, depending on how many branches, insurers and regulatory register formats are involved. We confirm a firm timeline in the requirements document before build begins, and complex chain rollouts are phased so your first branches go live sooner.

What support and updates do I get after go-live?

Every build includes a warranty support window for defect fixes plus training and documentation. After that, an optional support-and-maintenance retainer covers enhancements, new insurer or regulatory changes, and Odoo version upgrades (for example moving your instance from Odoo 17 to 18 or 19) so the module keeps working as your Odoo evolves.

Which Odoo versions and editions does it work with?

It supports Odoo 17, 18 and 19 on both Community and Enterprise. We build against Odoo's standard stock, point_of_sale and product apps and declare them as dependencies in the module manifest, so it coexists cleanly with your accounting, purchasing and inventory rather than replacing them.

Will it handle our country's controlled-drug and narcotic regulations?

Yes — the controlled-drug register, dispensing logs and QWeb register reports are configured to your jurisdiction's schedules and required fields during scoping. The register entries are protected by record rules so they can't be silently edited, giving you a defensible audit trail. We tailor the exact register format to your regulator's expectations.

Can it connect to insurance eligibility systems or e-prescription gateways?

Yes. The module keeps Odoo's XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs available and we can build integration points for insurer eligibility/co-pay checks, e-prescription intake or national drug databases. The specific integrations are scoped as part of the build based on the systems you use.

How does FEFO dispensing actually work at the till?

Each medicine is tracked by lot with an expiry date captured at goods-in. A computed field derives days-to-expiry per batch, and the POS suggests the earliest-expiring safe lot first (First-Expiry-First-Out). Expired lots are blocked from sale and near-expiry batches raise alerts to the branch manager.
