(General Apps -> Parameters -> Billing Settings)
This option is used to change the wording on discounts, surcharges and
cash discounts as well as setting the categories on itemised bills.
- Discount name - The wording used when adding discount e.g.
A ...... of 12.00 can be deducted
- Surcharge name - The wording used when adding surcharges e.g.
A ..... of 5.00 has been added
- Cash discount - The wording used when cash discounts are offered.
- Disp fee (*) - If a label is generated using the * within automatic
pricing and no other additional charge is added e.g. ~i, ~d, _d etc.
then this amount will automatically be added to the client's account
for that transaction.
See Options -> More -> 5 as to whether it is added to fees or drugs.
- Disp fee (Repeat) - If a label is generated from the
repeat prescription screen this amount will be added.
- Stock Min Sale Amount - If the sale of any stock item
if greater than 0 but less then the specified amount here the price will

Itemised bill set up
- This option sets the wording and categories
used when generating an itemised bill. An 'Itemised bill' has more detail than a
fee note but doesn't list
all transactions as with an invoice. It is possible to set up to 20
categories with a description relating to a range of analysis codes.
e.g. Radiology may cover codes 100 to 150. You will be asked for
'Description' and in our case would enter 'Radiology' then the code to
start at. In our case enter '100' and then code to end at '150'. When
an itemised bill is asked for, the system will scan all transactions
for that month and if any fall in the range 100 - 150 the total will
be determined. A typical display will look like:
1 Examinations 1 12 11 Blood tests 140 145
2 Vaccinations 13 18 12 WCC/Diff Haem. RCC 146 150
3 General anaesthesia 19 25 13 Glucose FeLV 155 160
4 Operative surgery 30 40 14 Urine tests 165 170
5 Dental surgery 41 45 15 Microbiology 56 59
6 In-patient treatment 50 55 16 Hospitalisation 60 70
7 Bandages, plasters 26 29 17 Medication 171 180
8 Radiography/ X-Rays 100 120 18 0 0
9 Endoscopy 121 125 19 0 0
10 E.C.G. 126 130 20 0 0

Additionally when an estimate form is requested, the program will step
through each of the lines that include text asking you the minimum and
maximum that this procedure may cost. If return is pressed a value of
zero will be assumed.
Please ensure that the codes do not overlap.
