Classifying products (humane, euthanasia, castration)
You can mark a product in Vetocare as Humane, Euthanasia, or Castration. Humane and Euthanasia automatically enable inventory management and batch numbers for the product; Castration does not. In the Expiration overview and Inventory history, you can then filter by Humane and Euthanasia.
Classifying a product
The classifications are located in the prescribing section of the product form, next to the Narcotic, Antibiotic, and Cascade fields.
Open Products and create a product via Add product, or open an existing product.
In the prescribing section, select the desired classification: Humane, Euthanasia, or Castration.
Save the product.
Inventory and batch numbers
When you mark a product as Humane or Euthanasia, Stock item and Use batch numbers are automatically set to Yes and can no longer be disabled. This ensures that the inventory of these products is always recorded consistently. Castration does not have this effect: a product marked only as Castration can still be used without inventory management and batch numbers.
The same automatic activation already applies to products marked as Narcotic, Antibiotic, or Cascade.
Warning for existing products
When you edit an existing product marked as Humane, Euthanasia, Narcotic, Antibiotic, or Cascade, and inventory management or batch numbers are not yet enabled, the form displays a warning at the top. It indicates that inventory and batch numbers are required for this product and that both will be enabled automatically when you save. After saving, Stock item and Use batch numbers will therefore always be enabled for such a product.
Filtering overviews by classification
Both the Expiration overview and Inventory history have the Humane and Euthanasia filters under the Properties filter group. These filters show only products with the selected classification.
Open Products and select Expiration overview or Inventory history.
Under Properties, select the Humane or Euthanasia filter.
View the filtered results.
There is no Castration filter in these overviews. To view the inventory history of a single product or apply an inventory adjustment, go to Adjustment history and Adjust inventory (adjustment).
