The Receipt Date is the date the account/invoice was receipted off (that is when the monies were received).

In the Record Visit window the Receipt Date is the date the receipt was entered in Pracsoft. In the receipting window the Receipt Date is the date selected next to Receipt Date (which can be changed manually by the user).

Reports produced using this Date Selection can also change for prior periods, which will not show up on current reports. For example, a receptionist may not realise that a receipt has been recorded for the wrong date or a refund may be given to a Patient that has been charged in error. In this case the receipt may need to be reversed and possibly re-issued (if the reversal is done in the current report period and the receipt date is for a prior reported period). When using the Receipt Date the reversal will only show in a prior reported period as it is based on the receipt date of the transaction.

Suggested Reports to be used by Receipt Date:

You may wish to use Receipt Date for reports when trying to generate reports for the fees that would have been generated had no errors or adjustments occurred.
