Balance due |
Configure rules to determine when the final payment for a group order must be received. In many cases, the final payment for a group order is due at the time of the visit. If this is the case with your organization, leave the Balance due fields set to “0” and “Days before visit” respectively. If your organization requires that the order balance be paid before the time of the visit, you can use the Balance due fields to require full payment based on a specific number of days after the order is created or a specific number of days before the group visit occurs. If you require an advance deposit by default, you can also select “Days after deposit is due” to determine the final payment due date. |
