Can be Mapped. Pharmacies new to the system that can be automatically matched to manually-entered pharmacies in the Pharmacies master file.

Multiple downloaded pharmacies have the same fax number matching to an existing unmatched pharmacy in the Pharmacies master file.

Pharmacies listed under Map Manually that have not been previously mapped are not updated.
Note: To manually map a pharmacy listed under Map Manually, you must map it in the Pharmacies master file.
