OK this is exactly what I'm proposing having a design that suits both
cases. For now, only the case of a pharmacy outside is supported.

I think we need an other document which represent the pharmacy order
which can be edited by the pharmacist like changing quantity or
substitution of product etc. This document will work a little bit like
the sale by creating the outgoing moves and the accounting moves.
We could prefill the document when the pharmacist select a prescription.
