This report is similar to the Receipt for Payment report, and displays a payment receipt for accounting transactions recorded on the Patient Payments screen or inserted automatically by the system, and can be filtered by 'Balance Type'. This report however prints triplicate copies of each receipt. This receipt is often generated automatically in facilities using special triplicate paper and a sheet printer for receipts at the payment window. This receipt can be printed for a specific patient, date, and balance type, and includes all accounting transactions recorded on the selected date, along with the amount debited or credited for each. The patient's current balance following the transactions is also included, and the number of doses covered by credit balances is displayed for facilities charging patients on a 'Per Dose' schedule. The 'Next Payment Date' displayed is based on the number of doses covered by a credit balance.
