Standing order/Direct debit patients
By using the boxes at the top of the screen you can monitor patients on monthly payments.
Tick the box to say that they are on standing order/direct debit.
Give the patient a reference for when they set up their standing order and insert it into the reference box as this makes it easier when comparing your bank statement to the list of standing orders/direct debits which you should be receiving.
Enter the amounts. Make sure that boxes are not left blank but at least have £0.00 in them.
Enter the start date
Leave the End date way in the future.
Choose whether the patient collects every 3 or 6 months.
From the Main Menu screen you can view the active standing orders for a specific month and tick them off as paid each month.
