  • Scheduling Calendar & Front Desk – Check In

    When the registry setting contains a value of '4', payments made at 'Check In' are stored in the temporary table: 'SYSTEM.unacknowledged_payments'. The data will remain in the table until the payment is acknowledged in the 'Payment Acknowledgement' form, in the 'Post Front Office and myHP Payments' section. The data is then moved to the 'SYSTEM.billing_pay_adj_history' table.
