Investigating a discrepancy

Turn a variance into a root cause with one-click drill-downs.

Open a count and tap Discrepancies to focus on the drugs that didn’t balance; Pending shows the ones that still need a reason. Each row shows the purchased, dispensed, and destroyed totals that make up the expected figure.

A NarcCount reconciliation with “Discrepancies only” ticked, leaving only the drugs that did not balance.
“Discrepancies only” narrows the count to the lines that are off.

Drill down

Click any purchased, dispensed, or destroyed number to see the exact transactions in that reconciliation window. This is the fastest way to spot a missing receipt, a double-entered dispense, or a destruction that wasn’t logged.

Click a dispensed total and you land on the dispenses behind it.

Common causes

  • A purchase or destruction that wasn’t entered before the count.
  • A dispense recorded under the wrong DIN or strength.
  • A physical miscount or unrecorded loss/theft.
  • A transaction dated outside the count window.

Document it

Add a note to the count item explaining the variance and any corrective action. The note appears on the printed report for your records and any inspection.
