Updating a Customers Third Party References

This article will explain how to use the different options available on the Third Party References page.

In MediBooks customers and businesses can be associated with any number of third parties for insurance purposes, and a default third party can be set so whenever an invoice is created for a customer the desired third party will be selected by default.

Using the reference details table reference numbers and start and end dates can be added to a third party, if an end date is used once this date is reached the policy will expire and certain behaviour may occur, which can be controlled using the settings explained in Changing What Happens When Policy End Date is Reached
