 ==== Cancellations for prescription payments ==== ==== Cancellations for prescription payments ====
-When a prescription is cancelled, any payment made against it is not automatically cancelled because the patient might give you the goods back but not receive a refund. The correct way to cancel a payment made against a cancelled prescription is to manually enter a cash out transaction for the patient in the cash register. This will appear as a "ps" type transaction in the register.+When a prescription is cancelled, any payment made against it is not automatically cancelled because the patient might give you the goods back but not receive a cash refund. However, a patient credit is automatically created equal to the amount of the payment and assigned to the patient. This means the patient is refunded in credit, not cash.
  
-It is a good idea to have a separate Option for this type of cash out payment to allow you to report on them separately from other types of cash out transactions.+If you really wish to refund cash to the patient, you need to find the patient credit created for them, cancel it and then go to the cash register and enter a cash out transaction for the patient. This will appear as a "ps" type transaction in the register. It is a good idea to have a separate //Option// ([[preferences:options|]]) for this type of cash out payment to allow you to report on them separately from other types of cash out transactions.
