OPD Bill Search and Reprint

Introduction

OPD bills can be searched, viewed, and reprinted at any time after creation. This is used by cashiers to verify a previous transaction, supervisors to investigate queries, and billing staff to reprint lost receipts.

Navigation

• Bill View/Search: Main Menu → OPD → Bill Search (privilege: OpdBillSearch) → opd/bill_view.xhtml
• Reprint: Main Menu → OPD → Reprint → opd/bill_reprint.xhtml
• Cashier Bill Search: Main Menu → Financial Transaction Manager → Reports tab → Cashier Bill List

Bill Search

1. Navigate to opd/bill_view.xhtml.
2. Enter search criteria: bill number, patient name/ID, date range, department, or payment method.
3. Click Search. The results list shows matching bills with: bill number, date, patient, department, total, payment method, status (active/cancelled).
4. Click a bill to view its full detail: line items, fees, payment records, cancellation status.

Reprint OPD Bill

1. Navigate to opd/bill_reprint.xhtml.
2. Search for the bill and select it.
3. Choose the print format (A4 or POS, based on configuration).
4. Click Print. The receipt is rendered for printing.

When the department uses the 5×5 Custom 3 OPD bill (OPD Sale Bill is FiveFiveCustom3), a Print (Raw Text) button next to Print sends the duplicate straight to a dot-matrix printer in the printer's own font — see OPD Bill — Raw Text (Dot-Matrix) Printing.

Original Bill Reprint

opd/original_bill_reprint.xhtml reprints the bill in its original format exactly as it was printed at time of creation — useful when the patient requires an exact duplicate.

FiveFiveCustom3 Receipt Layout Customization

The FiveFiveCustom3 OPD paper format (selectable per-user/department under Print → Paper Type on the bill view page, or via the department's opdBillPaperType preference) supports three admin-configurable customizations, set from Administration → Manage Institutions → Preferences → Department Options (or Application Options for a hospital-wide default):

Config Option Key	Default	Effect
OPD Bill Receipt Title	OPD Receipt	The title line printed under the department name (e.g. a lab-only site can set this to Laboratory Receipt).
OPD Bill Registration Number	(blank)	An optional accreditation/registration number line (e.g. PHSRC/ MC/357), printed only when set.
Enable OPD Custom 3 Bill Header	false	When enabled, also prints the institution name, address, phone numbers, and email above the department name/title block.

When the header block is enabled, the department's primary telephone number (Department.telephone1) prints in bold, followed by the secondary number (Department.telephone2) — both editable on the standard Department admin page.

All three keys resolve department first, then hospital-wide, then the default — the same pattern used throughout Application/Department Options — so one hospital's customization never affects another.

FiveFiveCustom3 receipt with Enable OPD Custom 3 Bill Header on, a custom receipt title ("Laboratory Receipt"), and a registration number set.

Patient Accept Payment

opd/patient_accept_payment.xhtml — for processing a pending balance payment from a patient (e.g. where partial payment was accepted earlier and the remainder is due now).

Cashier Shift Bill Search

cashier/cashier_shift_bill_search.xhtml — searches shortage, excess, IOU, and other shift management bills within a date range. Navigate via:

Main Menu → Financial Transaction Manager → Reports tab → Cashier Bill List or Main Menu → Financial Transaction Manager → Shift tab → Shift Shortage Bill Search

Scan Bill by Barcode

cashier/scan_bill_by_barcode_scanner.xhtml — cashier scans a bill barcode to instantly retrieve and view a bill.
