We build our most common half tabs as an independent entry in the drug dictionary. We have a medication form of HALFTAB and attach formulary, inpatient, and outpatient comments that say "1/2 OF 0.25 MG TABLET" as an example. The whole and half tabs have separate billing numbers and have descriptions for each in BAR. We load the half tabs prepacked in pyxis(we have a med packaging machine that also identifies them as halftabs). In the pyxis formulary the dosage form is HALFTAB as well. For the less common partials, we will enter the dose and change the inventory to the MAIN inventory and send up an accurate dose. Some narcs get cut and wasted out of the pyxis machine on the floor, but our general philosophy is to provide the dose when possible.
