Things to look out for: Take a Note

1. No Agreement for Appointment Service

This alert will show in the instance where the selected Participant(s) have no Agreement for the selected Appointment Service. When this is the case, Maica will alert you under the Participant(s) input box (as shown) and the Save & Next button will become unavailable. This is the only restriction that Maica enforces where the user cannot continue to create a Billable Participant Note.

In order to resolve this alert, you must select an Appointment Service that the selected Participant(s) have an Agreement for and hence can be billed against.

When the Participant(s) have an Agreement for the selected Appointment Service, the alert will be replaced by the following billing and budget information:

Reference	Description
1	This is the total cost of the Note. It is calculated based on the Duration and price of the Appointment Service.
2	This is the amount of Available Funding the selected Participant has within their Service Agreement for the allocated Appointment Service.
3	This is the quantity of the created Billable Participant Note based on the Start Time and End Time for each selected Participant. For example, the shown Note time is from 9:39am - 9:54am, this is a quantity of 0.25 which represents a 1/4 of an hour. This field is adjustable, please refer to the Adjusted Quantity section for further information.
