Finance OPD Professional Payments Report
The OPD Professional Payments Report lists every professional payment receipt raised for outpatient services over a period — one row per payment bill — together with the gross fee, the withholding tax deducted, and the net amount actually paid to the consultant. Finance staff use it to reconcile consultant payouts for a month, to check the WHT withheld before filing, and to trace an individual payment receipt back to its bill.
This is a reporting screen. It does not settle or cancel anything — to make a payment see Finance — OPD Doctor Payments, and for how the tax itself is calculated see Withholding Tax on Professional Payments.

Each row is one professional payment bill.
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
| Date / Time | When the payment receipt was raised |
| Receipt No | The department bill number, with View Bill and Manage Bill icons, plus a Cancelled or Refunded badge where applicable |
| Cashier | The user who raised the payment |
| Payment Type | Payment, or Return and Cancellation for the reversing bill |
| Speciality / Staff | The consultant the payment was made to |
| Gross | The fee before withholding tax |
| WHT | The withholding tax deducted |
| Value | The net amount paid — Gross minus WHT |
Payment bills are stored as negative amounts (money leaving the hospital) and their return/cancellation counterparts as positive, so a period that contains a cancellation shows both a negative and a matching positive row. That is correct: the pair nets to zero, and the totals row reflects that.
The row beneath the table totals the Gross, WHT and Value columns for every row matching the current filters — not just the page on screen.
The results table for a single day. The totals row under the columns gives the gross fees, the withholding tax deducted, and the net paid. Cashier and consultant names are obscured in this screenshot.
| Button | Result |
|---|---|
| To Print | Opens a print-formatted sheet with the selected filters listed in a header block, then the same table and totals. Click Print on that page to send it to the printer, or Back to Report to return. |
| Excel | Downloads the rows as .xlsx, ending with the same three totals. The file name carries the report name and the date range. |
| Downloads the same content as a landscape A4 PDF, with the filters printed in the header and the totals in bold on the last row. |
All three carry the Gross, WHT and Value totals, so an exported copy reconciles against the screen.
The print view: the filters used are printed in the header block, and the same Gross, WHT and Value totals appear beneath the table. Cashier and consultant names are obscured in this screenshot.
