Where to find it
MenuMasters › Package
A package is a named list of tests with one price, such as "Full Body Checkup ₹1,499" or "Fever Panel ₹799". After you save it, a package list appears in Patient Entry. If no package exists, that list stays hidden.
Offers without arithmetic
The package price goes on the bill as it is. Nobody adds up tests and gives a matching discount by hand.
One click at the counter
Clicking the package loads all its tests. Select All and >> put them on the bill.
