  • Add Line Items: Choose clinical procedures from your Services catalog or dispensing items from your Pharmacy inventory.

3. Apply Item or Invoice Discounts

Apply custom discounts or quantity adjustments:

4. Save a Draft or Finalize the Invoice

Review the invoice before saving:

  • Verify the line items, Subtotal, GST and Grand Total. Saved line items cannot be edited.
  • On Billing > New Invoice, Save as draft stores the invoice without finalizing it and opens its detail page. You can finalize it there later.
  • Create & Finalize Invoice opens a confirmation. Choose Finalize invoice to create and lock the invoice for payment, or Keep draft to return to your unsaved form.
  • Inline patient and treatment forms use the confirmed finalization flow and remain in their existing patient workflow.

  • Print PDF: Click Print to produce an official tax receipt complete with clinic branding and a scannable dynamic UPI QR code.
  • Send WhatsApp: Click Send WhatsApp to text a direct payment link and receipt PDF straight to the patient's phone.
