How to add an appointment to an existing invoice


Some practices do not have Client pay after each visit. In these cases, invoices can be created at the time of the appointment and subsequent appointments (or other items) are added as they are attended. Invoices can then be printed, emailed or posted as required for example monthly or at the completion to treatment.
 
If the invoice is left with a Status of Draft then Bp Allied will display a prompt and ask about adding the new appointment to the open invoice. This section shows the various scenarios that occur when an Invoice that has already been created is added to.
