Set up Invoice options

This section sets up the defaults used by the Invoices module of Bp Allied. Click here for details on how Invoice Templates can be customised.

Field	Description
Invoice Template Location	This is the location of the Invoice Templates. By default this is a "public" folder so that the templates are available for all users of the computer. This is set for each computer.
Default Invoice Templates	The default templates for both Client and 3rd Party invoices can be set here. These options are set for each user on each computer and saved in HKCU in the registry. If this needs to be set per computer, then these changes need to be made via MPSettings. Please contact alliedsupport@bpsoftware.net for help with this. When there are no options saved in HKCU, then Bp Allied will read these defaults from HKLM.
Practice Logo Location	Specifying a logo graphic file in here allows the graphic file to be inserted into a default Bp Allied Invoice Template that includes a logo space. These files are denoted with Logo as opposed to "noLogo" in the file name. The logo file format should be either a .jpg or a .png file.
Payment/Receipt Template Location	The default payment template can be specified here. It is usually located in the same folder as the invoice templates.
Quote Template	Define the default Quote Template here, rather than selecting it each time a Quote is to be printed.
Statement Template	Specify the default Statement template and the default location address to include on the template. As with Invoice Templates, Statement templates need to be developed by the Bp Allied Support team. The cost of this is covered in your normal Software Assurance. Please contact the support team with any queries or requests in relation to these.
Display Watermark	This is used to display grey-scale background text on an invoice. In this case, the text used is Invoice.
Show ClientID in 3rd Party Invoices	If this is used, the Client ID field is entered into a Third Party invoice rather than the clients name. This is done at the time the invoice is created so no changes need to be made to the Invoice templates. See above that the Client ID number 278279_MP is displayed in the Invoice rather than the Clients name.
"Invoice Printed" prompt	If ticked, you are prompted to confirm whether the invoice is printed correctly. If unticked, no prompt is displayed.
Multiple Clients per Invoice	If this is ticked, more than one client can be added to a Third Party invoice.
Allow Invoice Item price editing	This allows the price of an item to be changed after it has been added to an invoice. It can be handy to allow this option if things like disbursements are invoiced for as these will be a different value each time they are charged for.
Invoice numbering per Location check	For practices with multiple locations Invoice and Payment numbering can be set for each location. This enables the identification of location by a specific series of invoice numbers e.g. Sydney starts at 10000, Brisbane starts at 20000 and Melbourne starts at 30000. This is an organisational wide setting and requires a Bp Allied Administrator password to set the numbers. NOTE Please note that you must have a appropriate permissions to be able to change this value. If Invoice Numbering per Location is turned on, then the Location can’t be edited on an invoice once the invoice is created. The invoice will need to be deleted and recreated with the correct Location so that the correct invoice number series can be associated to it.
Set next Payment No.	Click to set the Next number in the Payment numbering series for the selected location. Enter the next number and click Ok. NOTE Please note that you must have a appropriate permissions to be able to change this value.
Set next Invoice No.	Click to set the Next number in the Invoice numbering series for the selected location Enter the next number and click Ok. NOTE Please note that you must have a appropriate permissions to be able to change this value.
Set Next Refund No.	Click to set the Next number in the Invoice numbering series for the selected location Click Ok. NOTE Please note that you must have a appropriate permissions to be able to change this value.
Save copy of a printed invoice	If Save a copy of an Invoice when Printed is enabled, the Print & Save option is removed and by default the Print option will cause the Invoice to Save. If Save a copy of an Invoice when Printed is NOT enabled for the Practice, a Print & Save button appears on the Print button menu. If the User clicks Print Preview, then Prints, the Invoice is saved automatically if Save a copy of an Invoice when Printed is enabled. If not, it is not saved. Copies of the invoices are saved into the Client Details > Documents/Phone Calls tab > Documents section. There is versioning of Invoices when they are named during the save process so that the latest and all previous copies can be identified. Permission 2002 - Can Manage the Save a copy of an Invoice when Printed option has been added to enable manage this setting so that it can only be changed by a person with the relevant authority. It is automatically enabled for System Admin by default and disabled for all other Roles.
