General

As you enter a description or ID, the list automatically scrolls to the area that most closely matches whatever you are typing.
Inactive items display with (I) at end of their description.
When accessing the invoice item list from an Item ID field on an invoice, estimate, PVL, document, etc., only active items display and can be selected.
When accessing the invoice item list from Inventory windows, only inventory type items will display.

Cost and Price

The ability to see an item’s last cost when clicking the $ icon is controlled by the View Inventory Cost security access.
Because pricing for group-type invoice items varies based on settings and patient signalment, the price listed in the search window may not reflect the final price when using the group on a specific patient.

Reporting

To print a list of your invoice items, use the Invoice Item Setup information report.

Searching for items

Invoice Item List selections for Search by and Search for word are retained per workstation. When opening the Invoice Item List, the cursor is either in the Description or Item ID field based on your workstation’s last selection of Search By.
When searching similarly named items, use the classification and type information to select the appropriate item when entering charges and looking up items. For example, unchecking all item types except service will help ensure that the correct vaccination service is billed vs. the related inventory item.
