Questions people ask
Why are patient bills not in the Day Book?
Patient bills are not posted to the accounts. See Daily Collection Report.
Which book should I give the CA?
Day Book in Excel for the month. It has both sides of every entry.
Can I see only one party's entries in the Day Book?
Yes. Type the start of the name in Search Account and click OK. For a party's full account with balance, the Ledger is better.
