The Orders window is used to record order information for hearing aids, earmoulds, ALDs and credits. A number of HearAid users also use the Orders data as the basis for payment of commissions and as a source for business analysis; orders can be linked to HSP claims to provide more detailed analyses. Linking orders to HSP claims is optional and is not necessary for generating orders!
The Toolbar:
•Finalise marks the order as finalised/completed, which can be used to ensure that incomplete orders/fittings are not included in commission calculations
•Print Order will print an order form, either using HearAid's own generic forms, or facsimiles of manufacturers' forms
•Create Fitting Records used the order data to generate fitting details in the Fittings table; this button is not active for Earmould or Return for Credit orders
