 Re: Methadone balance...
At the moment running balances are still just good practice.
If you've got a discrepancy I'd start again from scratch. Mark it something like "Balance reconciled" and initial.
If the balance is out by litres then it would be best to try to find it. Re the invoices you can always contact your wholesaler as they must keep a record of all their CD supplies to you.
Remember the discrepancy can depend on the amount of Methadone you use. If you have two addicts then the overage isn't going to account for much.
Our two shops have around 50 addicts between them and get through about 6 litres of Meth a week. That's 12 bottles so if each is out by 10ml thats 120ml a week.
Plus that many addicts amount to 30 or so measurements a day if you're only out by 1ml that could add up to 150ml a week!
In that context discrepancies can build up quickly
