New Reports

The following new reports have been added:

  • Wait Time Statistics
  • Task Time Statistics
  • Customer Retention Report
  • Duplicate Customers & Patients Estimates Report
  • Product Price Structure

Enhancements and Fixes

The following enhancements and fixes are included:

  • OVPMS-1849 Report Package improvements and fixes
  • Key Performance Indicators report
    Errors fixed:
  1. DISTINCT customer count included OTC ‘customer’ – should not
  2. Patient activity test for inactive patients was incorrect
  3. Number of days calculation incorrect for prior periods – assumed all periods had same length – not so if current is a leap year – this will be 366 but prior will be 365
  4. Initial customer count was wrongly including customers created on the first day of the period.
  5. Tweaked layout to fix field overlaps which were preventing correct export
  6. Adjusted OTC and Invoice calculations so that OTC includes only Counter Sales to anonymous customers, and Invoices includes Count Sales to known customers (to match Practice Summary)
  7. Moved Adjustments from the ‘billing’ bucket to the ‘income’ bucket. i.e.
    was Total Billed = Invoices + OTC – Credits + Adjustments; now Total Billed = Invoices + OTC – Credits
    was Total Income = Payments – Refunds; now Total Income = Payments – Refunds + Adjustments
  8. Payment discount rate was being wrongly calculated (was always 0)
  9. US Letter version fails due to bad table cell alignment
  • AddressBlock – would not handle an OTC customer (ie when printing an OTC Sale invoice)
  • Customer Acquisition Report – corrected logic so that gives same new customers count as KPI and Customer Retention reports.
  • Historical Debtors Report - added option to allow credit balances to be ignored so the totals only include money owed.
  • Practice Summary Report
  1. Outstanding Debtors subreport – was including credit balances when should not have been, replaced SQL by that cloned from Historical Debtors report.
  2. Income by Clinician – adjusted test for OTC account to use archetype party.organisationOTC rather than name like ‘%Counter Sales’
  3. Income by Location – adjusted test for OTC account to use archetype party.organisationOTC rather than name like ‘%Counter Sales’
  1. Batch Usage Report revised to improve layout
  2. Product List Report revised to include classification
  3. Stock Valuation report revised to allow selection by classification, detection of zero costed items, and the ability to ignore products in a specified group
  4. Template load xml files revised to improve report descriptions
  • OVPMS-1865 Customer Payments Report
    Enhanced to show the payment/refund type and totals for each type, and also to allow selection of the customer location.
     
  • Samples - letterhead usage examples
    The sample reports (in <OPENVPMS-HOME>/reports/Sample) now include letterhead support in the "Sample Patient Form.jrxml" and in the new "Sample Rabies Certificate.jrxml".
