Ah, now I understand the problem a little better. If I recall correctly there is an option to add a text field to an invoice. (Just fool around with the <%notes> and <%paid> fields in the customer invoice template). The notes can be entered in the sales order I believe. That would have to be done when you are trough with the visit. When you enter the date and services rendered they should show up on both sales order and invoice. That way you could make a sales order per visit, have the customer sign the sales order and pay 5% And then invoice once a day or week when convenient.
Hope this helps, my medical insight is probably worse than your accounting skills ;-) Paul PS: do not forget to use a separate template NOT stating <%paid> when sending claim to MedAid. You do not want to send them a 95% invoice. (Is this way of underpaying legal in Namibia? Sounds like a semi-official Tax Collection to me! What if the patient can not afford 5%?) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:sql-ledger-users-bounce@;freelists.org] On Behalf Of Eberhard Lisse Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 9:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SL] Re: What we would like to see... Paul, the point is that I must bill my patients' Medical Aids (HMOs?) with the date the service was rendered. It's rather complicated, actually. The patient must pay 5% of the invoice AND should sign on the invoice that I actually performed the service. The Medical Aids have the nasty habit, of paying 95% of what is on the invoice they receive, in other words, if I only bill 95% they pay 95% of 95% :-)-O So what I must do is, add the services to invoice, print it out, have the patient sign, then make her pay the 5% and print out an invoice for her with the payment (receipt). BTW, I have entered all the service codes for Obstetrics and Gynaecology for the Southern African Board of Healthcare Funders tariff and am willing to share them with whoever wants them, of course. I am just unable to generate an invoice/account/statement with the date of the service. Pity they don't teach any of this in Medical School :-)-O I can muck with HTML and LaTeX so just a pointer will do :-)-O. BTW, what is cool about this, BoHCF tariff is that one can write a translation table for the ICPM codes, so Chris Beggy's program might be able to use the API and bang the services in. greetings, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
