Medicines and vaccines reach a batch the same way feed does — through a Medicine Purchase (bought from a supplier) or a Medicine Transfer (moved from another batch or your godown). What’s actually administered to the birds is recorded separately as a Medication.

Medicine Purchase

Records medicine bought from a supplier for a batch.

Line items: Product (a medicine), Unit, Quantity, Rate, Amount. The purchase adds to the batch’s medicine stock and records the medicine cost.

Medicine Transfer

Moves medicine between batches, or issues it from the godown.

Recording a medicine transfer.

Line items: Product, Unit, Quantityno rate (a stock movement, not a purchase).

Purchase vs administer

A Medicine Purchase/Transfer changes stock. Actually giving medicine or a vaccine to the birds is recorded as a Medication under Daily Activity. Keeping them separate lets you track both what you bought and what you used.
