(See Also: Practice Health Scheme)

This works in a similar fashion to those schemes used in the supermarkets, a certain number of points gained for an amount spent. These points can be redeemed at a later date.

It applies to work entered via AP only and is based on analysis codes, the system will take the Inc. VAT amount x Number of points x Multiplier, credits will be excluded. The number of points on a specific item is setup via:

Auto Pricing -> Utilities -> Mileage/Analysis -> Edit

You can assign a point value from 0.1 to 25.2 points per pound. This will allow you to have 'specials' where for extra points are acquired on say Flea products in a month. For common items or procedures the point value can be lower.

By setting the 'Multiplier' on a per animal basis you can also increase/decrease the number of points awarded for your 'special' clients.

Points are redeemed at 1 pence per point. The payment routine will display the points to date and prompt the user to see if any will be used to pay the bill. POS and Today bills will show the current loyalty point total and the number of points gained during the period.

A clinical line will be added (analysis code 212) showing the points redeemed.
