Based on the Liquid Cut-off set up in the TGI Medication Setup, once a bottle reaches a specified amount remaining a pop-up will appear requiring you to select a new bottle to dispense from. If there is an amount remaining in the bottle that will be changed after the dispense is completed, you can choose to transfer the remaining medication to the new bottle or dispose of the medication. Follow the steps below for how to transfer bottles and remaining medication.
