United States Users

I could have sworn that I came across a post previously mentioning that there are clinics in the US using Open VPMS, but unfortunately, I was unable to find it.  If there are any United States users, would you mind sharing how Open VPMS is working for you and also how you are dealing with the tax calculations?  My wife is in the process of evaluating different practice management software, and I'd really love to go with the open source solution, but the tax issue may be a bit of a hindrance.  Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Problem with a Number as the first character in a product name

Folks

Have just noticed that if I go to either bill 4Cyte, or a 3-way-stop-cock, the item does not show up as a product.  And, what comes up is the product search box with the identities box already ticked.  To then find the product, you have to untick the box and hit the find button a second time.  This does not happen with any search item starting with a letter.

How to deal with a stock item that is sold both by the bottle and injected (per ml)

Sorry if this seems obvious:

 

We are implementing stock control.  We have a drug (an antibiotic) that is supplied by our wholesaler in 100ml bottles.

We sell this drug by the bottle to some farm clients.  But we also inject by the ml into farm animals and small animals.

 

How do we deal with this situation from a stock point of view?  Do we enter every bottle purchased as 100ml of the antibiotic? 

 

Thoughts appreciated.

1.8 expr:concatIf(a,b,c) query

Are the expr:concatIf functions new in 1.8 (they are in the CSH)? If so should they be in the 'new in 1.8' list?  [I checked the fixed in 1.8 Jira list and can't see them there.]

NSW Comp Animal Registry forms - time for another look ?

Could we develop NSW CAR prepopulated forms to print from Open VPMS ? Happy to contribute.

Added animal to a client by mistake. How to change and take financial history over

Hello,

  We have a case where an animal was accidentally added to a client record (same surname).  The animal has about 4 months clinical and financial history.

 

We need to transfer this animal to the correct client details, without affecting the other client record.  Ideally, the financial details need to transfer too.  This is so we can process an insurance claim.  So far, the ways to do it I have come up with are:

 

Updating old reports from the Users Shared Resources

I have downloaded most of the reports available on the shared resources.  I note that a lot of these reports have been knocking around for a few upgrades now and many of them pre-date email capture in client details.

Is there any chance of updating these to add the retrieval of emails as part of the data in the CSV file???

Name Change

Hi,

Just wondering if someone could help us, we have recently changed name of our practice and we thought we were successful in upgrading our reminders to have the new clinic name on them instead of the old.  Still printing out old clinic name, even though when we go to the documents has new clinic name.  If someone could give us some advice would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance

When Invoicing and Estimating and Qty = 0 FIxed Price is still applied

I am not sure if this is how people expect this to work, 

Currently when you invoice a product that includes a fixed price and set the qty sold to 0 the fixed price is still charged.  

This also occurs most annoyingly when estimating.

During a regular invoice you can manually set the fixed price to 0 if thats your intention as a work around

During estimating this is not possible as it affects the High value as well.

EG 

Template for invoices, credits etc.

Can an expression be formulated so that the same template can be used for invoice, credit, counter sale and receipt? So that an invoice or counter sale prints the heading Tax Invoice, a credit prints Tax Credit and a receipt prints Receipt. If so, how would the expression be placed on the report eg. as a variable, and what would the expression look like?
