Inpatient Post Final Payment
A post final payment records money the patient pays after the final bill has been confirmed. It is kept separate from deposits and from Make a Payment, so reports can show what was collected after settlement on its own.

- Inpatient → Search → Admissions → find the BHT → Inpatient Dashboard → Post Final Payment. The button only appears once the admission has a confirmed final bill that has not been cancelled.
- Payment Management → Post Final Bill Payment tab → Payment. Here you pick the BHT on the page. A BHT without a confirmed final bill is rejected.
A cashier shift must be started first. Otherwise you are sent to the cashier page to start one.
The screen shows the Final Bill Net Total, Paid So Far and the live Balance Due. Choose the Payment Mode (Cash, Card, Cheque, Slip, e-Wallet or Online Settlement), enter the amount, add an optional comment and click Pay. The amount cannot exceed the balance due.
After Pay, the receipt is shown with these buttons: New Payment, Print, View / Cancel, Settings, Interim Bill and Inpatient Dashboard.
Interim Bill opens the interim bill for the same admission the payment was just recorded for.
After a payment is saved, View / Cancel opens that payment so it can be cancelled or refunded straight away.
Under the payment form, the screen lists every post final payment already taken for this BHT, newest first. It shows the bill number, date and time, who took it, the payment method, the amount and its status: Active, Cancelled or Refunded. View opens that payment.
Each earlier payment for the BHT, with its status and a View button.
View (from the list) and View / Cancel (from the receipt) both open the Post Final Bill Payment Reprint page. From there you can:
- Print a duplicate receipt.
- To Cancel the whole payment, after confirming. This creates a cancellation bill for the same amount, negated, and the balance due goes back up by that amount.
- Refund all or part of the payment through the refund page.
To Cancel is disabled when the payment is already cancelled, already refunded, or has been checked. Refund is disabled once the payment is cancelled or nothing is left to refund.
A cancelled payment: To Cancel and Refund are no longer available. The receipt preview is marked CANCELLED.
A cancellation always reverses the whole payment. To give back only part of it, use Refund.
