In User Administration > Provider Numbers the Active field as been renamed MOC Active to more accurately reflect it's use in managing Medicare Online Claiming Provider numbers only.
The messaging for adding and deleting Medicare Online Claiming Providers which are invalid or entered incorrectly has been enhanced.
Client computers that sync will now be able to view the Audit Log on their server as long as they are online. To be able to see all data, requires that all other syncing computers have updated the server computer by running a Sync All.
There is an upgrade to the embedded browser for Xero, MYOB and Physitrack to enable us to be independent of the browser changes in Windows.
What's new in Version 7 Service Pack 1
Xero
Xero connections now need to be created in a new way due to a change in the way Xero authenticates the API connection.
Updated Payments to allow mulitple payments to be added to an invoice. This removed the need to use the Overpayments function.
Update to permission 5001 - Permitted to change client practitioner. This permission now only allows a user to change a Practitioner from the Not Permitted to Permitted list and assign them as Primary Practitioner. It no longer enables the ability to change a user's permissions to anything other than their default role permissions as all of the grid has been disabled except for the primary practitioner column. Please read the Quick Reference Guide on this change here.
Added permission 5013 to manage who can access the Customise button on the Client Details toolbar. All users are set to be able to do this by default and System Administrators will need to change the Role permissions to restrict current users if this is required.
Show available
Show Available has been reinstated. This is now available to be turned on in the Appointment Book options.
A quick reference guide of the changes is available here.
Practitioner Availability
There has been an update to Practitioner Availability to ensure that it displays the availability for all Practitioners that each user has access to view. This means that the Appointment Book will need to be closed and re-opened to enable the display of any changes made to Practitioner Availability.
Behind the scenes
Due to the Xero and Zoom integrations there is an upgrade of .Net 4.6 to .Net 4.6.1 components. This, or a later version of the .Net framework is supported by all versions of Windows from Windows 7 SP1 upwards.
Bugs and known issues
Details of all the bugs fixed in this release are detailed in the Release Notes, including resolutions to several known issues:
Copying an appointment may not copy across reminder indicators into the copied appointment.
Provider auth group information dropping from the grid when changing or adding information to a User.
Saving a letter to the client record not working when using secure messaging. The letter was saving to the desktop instead of the client record.
What's New in Version 7
Major Enhancements
Online appointment bookings
Online bookings are available using selected vendors. This enables a practice to have clients book their appointments using the vendors website (or integration into the practice website). Both bookings and cancellations are received into a staging area within Bp Allied to be processed by the practice.
The Physitrack web interface has been integrated into the Client Details. For an authorised Practitioner, they can now view the Physitrack details for a client from their client record.
SMS Global functionality has been removed. As communicated earlier this year the SMS Global integration within Bp Allied has been removed in Version 7. BP SMS was introduced as the SMS Global replacement within Version 6 of Bp Allied and has proven to be a solid and reliable service. Please contact the Bp Allied Sales team to get started with Bp SMS.
Other changes
Item sales report enhancement
Appointment information can be viewed against the invoiced items displayed in the Item Sales report, if the item is appointment related. Add these fields to your report by using the Column Chooser.
Management of printed invoices
Saving printed Invoice options - printed invoices can be saved to the Client file using a Print & Save option, or a practice-wide setting that saves all printed invoices can be switched on. This enables easier recreation of invoices for ATO purposes. Read more...
