Subject: [Hardhats-members] Dispense drugs from a Pharmacy

I was trying to find out how a pharmacy store is handled in VistA.
I have created primary and warehouse inventory points and initialized the drug balance in the primary inventory point. Using the "Populate Pharmacy Location with Inventory Items" option, I linked the Pharmacy location to the primary inventory point.
 
I tried to dispense drugs by creating a new prescription for the patient using "PSO RX" option. But the drug balance does not reflect the release of drugs. (I checked the balances through options "PSA DISPLAY LOCATION" and "PHYSICAL INVENTORY BALANCE REVIEW" in "INVENTORY INTERFACE" option).
 
Is there something wrong in the way I made the invenory or the way I dispensed the drugs or something else?
