There are only a few
differences between a hospital transaction and an ordinary transaction:
1. The cage number and discharge check box are extra fields shown on the hospital
transaction window and the patient's name, breed and the time that the patient was
admitted to hospital will be added to the transaction notes.
2. Hospital transactions will not be removed from the transaction list during a month-end
procedure - you will still be able to edit a hospital transaction and add lines to the
transaction. Only when you discharge a patient from hospital (tick the discharge check
box) will the transaction be removed during a month-end procedure.
3. All the stock and service items added to these transactions will be seen as hospital
services and stock.

transactionHospital transactions are usually edited to add
line items to the transaction. A hospital transaction can also be edited to correct a
mistake made in that transaction. When you add a hospital transaction, the transaction
date is the computer systems date - which should be the date of that particular day. When
you edit a transaction, the program will ask you if you want to change the date to the
current date. Click on CANCEL if you want to keep the existing date or on OK if you want
to change it to the current date. All the line items that you now add will have the new
date. Remember that the line items already added will not change to the new date.
