Help by module

Use these guides to understand what each current MLA area is for and what details to check when something does not look right.

DR

Daily Registration

Use this for patient case entry, Doctor selection, services, amount, received amount, discount, payment mode, branch and pending balance.

  • Validation should keep entered values until a successful save.
  • Check the selected Branch / Head Office before saving.
  • Today entries are based on the saved case date.
DE

Daily Expenses & Branch Accounts

Record day-to-day expenses and review branch collection, expense and net position.

  • Choose the correct Branch / Head Office.
  • House-visit paid-now entries can appear as linked expenses.
  • Branch → Head Office payments are internal settlements.
VB

Vendor / Stock Bills

Use this for vendor or stock bills, due amounts, branch-paid/company-paid handling and bill attachments.

  • This is bill tracking, not full stock/inventory management.
  • Bill files can be PDF, JPG or PNG where upload is available.
  • Use the correct paid-by classification to avoid duplicate expense treatment.
L2L

Lab-to-Lab

Manage partner-lab cases, balance received entries, receipts, ageing and selected-lab statements.

  • Select the correct L2L Lab and case destination.
  • Receipts reduce that lab's pending balance.
  • Use statement filters when historical detail is needed.
OUT

Outsource Payables

Track outsource cases, payable balances and payments for each outsource lab.

  • Live balance reflects payable minus recorded payments.
  • Use the selected lab to review its outstanding position.
  • Do not duplicate a payment already recorded.
DI

Doctor Incentive

Doctor incentive is calculated from actually received patient money according to the configured incentive rule.

  • Later balance receipts can affect the incentive when money is received.
  • Outsource adjustment is applied where the configured rule requires it.
  • Use date-range Doctor statements for review.
PDF

PDF Statements

Current MLA statement workflows include Doctor, L2L Lab, Branch and Head Office statements.

  • Select the required date range before generating.
  • Use Share PDF on supported Android/browser environments.
  • Download PDF remains available as a fallback.
ROLE

Staff Access

Admin controls branch assignment and Main Staff / Sub Staff access according to the current MLA role structure.

  • Main Staff has the broader operational access configured by MLA.
  • Sub Staff access is limited to the modules allowed for that role.
  • Temporary or permanent Main Staff changes retain historical attribution.
BK

Backup & Data

Admin/Owner can use the available backup tools for business continuity and support workflows.

  • Keep downloaded backups in a secure location.
  • Do not edit backup JSON manually unless specifically instructed.
  • Contact support before recovery if you are unsure which backup is correct.

SEC

Login, Activation & Security

Customer authentication accounts are provisioned before first login; eligible new customers then complete Lab activation and begin Trial Day 1.

  • Do not share passwords, OTPs or recovery codes with support.
  • Admin/Owner security checks can depend on authenticated account and device context.
  • For access problems, share the exact error text and account email only.
