Use **Veterinary Diagnosis** to record your animals' symptoms, diagnosis, treatment plan, course dates, and medicines consumed. Open the diagnosis form separately from Daily Farm Entry.

## **Record and complete treatment**

1. Open Veterinary Diagnosis with a role authorized to create and submit it.
2. Select Company and the affected Item, Batch, or Serial No. Enter Diagnosis Date, disease, symptoms, recommendations, Start Date, End Date, and Withdrawal Period where relevant.
3. Add treatment plans. Enter medicine **Quantity Consumed** in stock UOM and its **Source Warehouse**, plus required stock batch/serial allocations. Clinical dose information alone does not issue stock.
4. Keep unfinished follow-up **Pending**. Saved Pending diagnoses are drafts and can be detected by overdue-treatment rules.
5. Review consumed stock and Stock Posting Date. Set **Completed** and submit once the treatment record is ready.
6. Review the linked Medical Stock Entry and, when enabled, Capitalization Stock Entry.

Submission creates stock transactions; it is not just a clinical status change. Confirm Company treatment account and medicine availability beforehand. See **Treatment Costs** for capitalization and invoice allocations.

## **Follow-up and cancellation**

Overdue Treatment uses a Pending diagnosis's End Date; it does not track whether each dose was administered. For house-specific reporting, record reliable historical location through the supported capitalisation warehouse or linked medicine issue's House.



Use normal cancellation procedures for submitted diagnoses. Their linked entries are cancelled in dependency order, subject to ERPNext checks. Do not assume entering a withdrawal period automatically blocks sales; verify your farm's release controls separately.
