BUG: Bill Date in Collections Report is wrong

Hi Guys;

I posted in the bugs tracker also, but have seen no response, so I figured to note it here.  Actually, I would like to add a selectable column to the Collections report which would show the bill_date for each encounter in the listing.  Unfortunately, that is currently beyond my coding skills.  But I’ll bet it would help a lot of people to quickly know any which were not yet billed.

Current practice requires selection of each encounter to see the EOB Postings, and that is incorrectly showing the Bill Date as the Service Date.  I think I indicated how to fix that in my tracker notes, but I do not know if that would cause some other problem - making the changes work is right at the fringe of my coding skills just yet.

I don’t see any Bill Date in the Collections Report.  Did I get up too early this morning?  :slight_smile:

No.  As I posted you separately and in the Bug Tracker, it actually is shown after you select an encounter link in the Collections Report, but comes from the sl_eob_invoice.php file where it specifically calls for it to display the $svc_date rather than the proper bill_date from "billing" table.

My request was for adding a column which would display (user selectable as per the check boxes at topof the Collections Report) the bill_date for each encounter as part of the Collections Report.

I will be working on it and hope to learn.

Folks;

I have posted a fix for this to Rod Roark, and hope he will add it to the CVS.

I am also going to look at making a user-selectable column in the Collections Report which will similarly display the last billed date for each encounter, and hope Rod will add that to CVS as well.
