How to create an invoice
Invoice Type
Visit Invoices - invoices that are created with in the context of a visit. This is where the vast majority of the billing activity occurs. Every time a new visit is created a new visit invoice is automatically created. Additional visit invoices can be created manually as needed.
Client Invoice - invoices that are created under a client, unrelated to a visit. This is typically used for product purchased or prescription (refill or new) outside of a visit. Client invoices for products that are not for prescriptions needed to be created manually. New Rx or Rx Refills will automatically create a new invoice in the process of updating the status of an prescription.
