Deferring Invoices

Instead of immediately printing an invoice, it can be Deferred by clicking on the Defer button in the new invoice window.

This will send the invoice to Unpaid Accounts. Unpaid Accounts can be found in File > Maintenance and Reports > Monthly Chores > Unpaid Invoices. Deferred invoices are printed individually only when you choose to print them. For example, imagine that you admit a patient to hospital on the 28th of the month and whom you discharge on the 4th of the following month. You raise an invoice for each daily visit. In this situation you can defer each invoice as its created. Then, when the patient is discharged, go to File > Maintenance & Reports > Monthly Chores and click on the Unpaid Accounts button, and print either a statement for the patient or each individual invoice.

Deferred invoices can also be printed individually, using the Printer icon in the Patients Account History (Billing > Account History).
