Clinic location finance settings control financial workflows, payment behavior, and reporting for each clinic location. Because these settings affect how the system processes financial transactions and financial reporting, they are typically configured during implementation and should only be modified with careful consideration and appropriate permissions.
Note
This function is currently only available in a limited number of customer environments.
User Permissions
Access to clinic location settings is controlled through separate permissions. This allows organizations with multiple clinic locations to give local managers access to general clinic settings without exposing sensitive financial configuration.
The following user permissions control access to clinic locations settings:
Clinic location finance settings (read and write): Allows users to view and edit the Finance tab.
Access/edit handling and injection fee settings (read and write): Allows users to view and edit the Handling & Injection fees tab.
Clinic location settings (read and write): This grants access to all other tabs under Settings > General > Clinic location, but excludes the Finance and Handling & Injection fees tab.
Using these permissions, organizations can control who manages general clinic settings and who has access to financial configuration.
Clinic-Level Finance Settings
Finance settings for a clinic location are separated from the general clinic location settings and are available under Settings > General > Clinic location > Finance.
Pricing & Display
Show prices with Vat: Controls whether prices in the system are displayed with VAT included or excluded.
