Respite Care
Sometimes it may be necessary to invoice for just a single day or a few days within an invoicing period. Or, in some cases it may be necessary to invoice for a number of hours within an invoicing period. Rather than setting up a number of different invoicing cycles to deal with this, individual days or hours can be included in any cycle by following this procedure.
Firstly, create a suitable Invoice Charge Type to use for this purpose (e.g. RPT for Daily Respite Care).
Next, go to the Resident record and create a Charge Template for respite. Set the "Rate Type" field to "Daily" and tick the "Respite Care Invoice?" box as shown below.
On the "Charges" tab of the charge template enter the Respite charge line with the relevant daily rate. N.B. If you want to charge for hours, the rate should be the hourly rate multiplied by 24.
Save the Charge Template and you are now ready to go to either Update Respite Care - Daily or Update Respite Care - Hourly.
