SOP: Add Treatment Items to AesthetiDocs Inventory and Link Them to Treatments

Objective

This SOP explains how to add treatment items (non-retail products used during appointments) into AesthetiDocs, configure stock and treatment settings, and record their use during a patient treatment. It ensures products are tracked correctly for inventory, documentation, and treatment records.

Key Steps

  • Use the tabs at the top of the inventory screen to filter by stock status.

  • Check for:

    • Out of stock items

  • Select Add New Item at the top of the inventory page.

  • Choose the correct item type:

    • Single inventory item if you do not need expiry or lot tracking.

    • Inventory item with expiry and lot number if you need batch tracking for products such as toxin.

  • Use the expiry/lot option when traceability is required.

4. Enter Core Product Details 2:17

  • Enter the product name.

  • Add the unit price if you want to track purchase cost from the supplier.

  • Leave retail price blank for treatment items, since these are not sold directly to patients.

  • Optionally add:

    • SKU

    • Product ID

5. Configure Stock Tracking and Supplier Information 3:03

  • If you want to track stock levels, enter the quantity being added.

  • Select the supplier if you want supplier tracking enabled.

  • Assign the item to the correct location(s) where the stock will be stored.

  • If the item is stored in multiple locations, create or assign it accordingly so stock is tracked accurately.

6. Categorize the Item and Set Medical Treatment Options 3:39

  • Assign the item to a product category if needed.

  • Set the medical status appropriately for the item.

  • Do not mark it as a retail item if it is only used during treatment.

  • Enable record item so it can be linked to treatment records and facial mapping tools.

7. Define Treatment-Specific Details 4:27

  • Select the relevant treatment category (for example, toxin).

  • Choose the instrument(s) used with the product (for example, needle).

  • Enter the correct measurement unit such as:

    • mL

    • grams

    • units

  • Turn on prescription required if the product needs a prescription.

8. Set Reorder Rules and Save the Item 5:09

  • If using stock management, set a reorder level.

  • Choose a threshold that reflects the minimum stock you want to keep on hand.

  • When stock reaches or drops below this level, the system will flag the item as low stock and prompt reordering.

  • Select Submit to save the new treatment item.

9. Record the Treatment Item During an Appointment 5:55

  • Open the Calendar and select the patient’s appointment.

  • Click Start to begin the appointment.

  • Go to the Record page.

  • Use the facial mapping / treatment recording tool to select the product used.

  • Choose the correct brand/item from the list.

  • Enter the treatment details, including:

    • Units or quantity used

    • Injection points or areas treated

    • Lot number and expiry date, if applicable

  • Click Add and then Save to attach the product to the treatment record.

10. Verify the Product Appears in the Final Treatment Record 7:08

  • Open the final tab/page of the treatment record.

  • Confirm the product appears under the procedures section.

  • Check that the lot number and expiry date are displayed if they were entered.

  • Use this final record for printing notes or reviewing what was used for the patient.

Cautionary Notes

  • Do not mark a treatment item as retail if it is not sold directly to patients.

  • Use the expiry and lot number option for products that require batch traceability.

  • Make sure the location is assigned correctly so stock counts remain accurate.

  • Set the reorder level carefully to avoid running out of essential treatment stock.

  • If a product requires a prescription, ensure the prescription required setting is enabled.

  • If you are unsure whether an item should be retail or treatment-only, confirm before saving to avoid incorrect stock and treatment records.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Use the low stock and out of stock filters regularly to stay ahead of reordering.

  • Create treatment items with consistent naming so they are easy to find in records.

  • If you use the same product in multiple locations, set up location-specific stock tracking from the start.

  • Add lot and expiry details at the time of stock entry to reduce manual corrections later.

  • Keep measurement units standardized across similar products for easier treatment documentation.

  • Use the chat support area if you need help configuring a product correctly.
