Frequently Asked Questions
- Visits View, Pharmacy, Splits and various buttons are shown on
multiple pages, Why ?
- Should a user include an item number
on a miscellaneous sale?
- Can you sell something for another pet
when examining the pet that is currently in the hospital?
- An employee was using anyone's name in
the COLLECTED BY field in FINAL BILLING since her name came up so
far down the list. Is this okay?
- Is there any way to change the
boarding arrival date to the actual day they arrive rather than
their reservation date?
- I get the Hours Summary report when I
process employee hours, but how do I get each employee's hours?
- When we "Process Client" (meaning there is more than 1 pet in
Departures) and they have a coupon (example $5.00 off Interceptor), how
can we take only "$5.00" off, rather than $5.00 off every pet we are
processing? In the final screen when departing we click on "Discount"
and then put in the "dollar amount." Is there a way to do this that we
aren't aware of?
- I have extended the Basic Appointment Scheduler to the end of 2005,
but I can't remember how to change the tab names from CONS1, CONS2, etc.
to the names I use. Can you refresh my memory on how to update the tab
names?
The versatility of the AHMS System lets the user access processes
from multiple places rather than closing and opening several screens.
For example: Pharmacy is located in areas where you may need to
reference the drug list in order to continue working in the selected
area.
The user must always use an item number. The system depends on
this number or code to record the billable properly. Under
INVOICES or ORDERS, if an item number is not shown, the system may not
recognize it. Even miscellaneous items have an item number
(usually "MISC").
Yes, while in Departure Details, you can make a QUICK SALE and
continue.
Not an acceptable business practice since the recorded activity is
noted to an employee who did NOT do the action. Recommend that the
former employees can be de-activated (select EMPLOYED = NO in EMPLOYEE
INFORMATION) to keep them on file, but not shown on the drop-down menu
of active employees.
Another trick is to UP ARROW from the start of the WORK BY list.
When you use the UP arrow (on the keyboard), it jumps to the bottom of
the list, working up through the list.
Another trick is to enter the EMPLOYEE NUMBER in the COLLECTED BY
field, which will then auto fill the corresponding employee name.
Yes, there's a way to change the arrival date! Go to DEPARTURES ->
KENNEL, and double-click on one of the boarding visits. The Boarding
Details will allow the user to change the ARRIVAL (in the upper right
corner) date as well as the Arrival time.
Once you have PROCESS HOURS (BUSINESS->EMPLOYEES->PAYROLL), click
REPORTS|SUMMARIES. Click INDIVIDUAL HOURS REPORT. Select the
correct pay period. The first report will be the HOURS SUMMARY,
simply go to REPORT-> CLOSE. The second report will contain ALL
information (times, hours, etc.) for each employee. Simply go to
REPORT->PRINT and click PRINT.
When you click on DISCOUNT in Final
Billing, the Discount form has 2 areas. The top area (with which you are
familiar) is to apply a discount to all departing invoices. The bottom
area (called Discounts Applied to Individual Departing Invoices) allows
you to apply discounts to individual invoices! The table in this bottom
area shows the departing invoices. You can select a DISCOUNT TYPE for a
specific invoice, or enter a discount to that specific invoice by
entering the dollar amount in the DISCOUNT field!
To change the Tab Names on the Basic
Appointment Scheduler:
1. Go to SCHEDULING -> DOCTORS
2. Click on the next record in the desired column (Doctor 1, Doctor 2,
Doctor 3, Doctor 4) on the APPOINTMENTS tab, where you want to start
making the change.
3. Click UPDATE DOCTOR
4. A dialog will appear, ENTER NAME EXACTLY... Enter the Name exactly as
you want it to appear, 30 characters maximum.
5. Click OK
6. A question will confirm your desire to change ALL entries of that
column from the record you highlighted onwards. Click YES to make the
changes, or answer NO to cancel.
7. The change will appear momentarily. The message bar will show the
progress of the changes.
That's the way to change the entries under that column for all future
dates. You can also highlight single records, click EDIT, then type in
the desired value.
