Wasting a weight-tracked container in VetSnap involves two main steps: recording the waste and finishing the container.

Step 1: Record the Waste

  1. Go to Manage Inventory.

  2. Find the drug you are wasting and click Record Waste.

  3. If the container you need to waste isn’t listed, click Open a Container first.

  4. Enter the quantity to be wasted (the full amount being disposed of).

    • Note: Entering the pre- and post-weight is optional. It's only needed if available or if there is a noticeable weight change.

  5. Add a detailed comment explaining the reason for the waste (e.g., expired, damaged, contaminated).

  6. Two signatures are required to complete and save this action.

Step 2: Finish the Container

  1. Go to Manage Containers.

  2. Select the container you just recorded waste for.

  3. Change the container status to Finished.

  4. Enter the final bottle weight:

    • If the bottle still has its full weight (e.g., expired and sent to a reverse distributor), enter the current bottle weight.

    • If the bottle is broken or weight cannot be obtained, you may enter "0".

  5. VetSnap will use the mass-to-quantity conversion to calculate what the expected balance was.

    • This may result in a discrepancy—that’s okay. Just complete the adjustment so that the final balance is zero.

Note:
We're working on improving this process in the future. For now, the recorded waste entry serves as your paper trail and supports the inventory adjustment.
