In DaySmart Vet, you may use bundles to help create estimates. For more information about working with bundles, please see Managing Bundles.
When using a bundle to create an estimate, you will have the option to define a low and high range for each item in that estimate. |

Navigate to the applicable appointment
Click on "check in"
Select the applicable bundle, if desired
Set the "billing field" to "estimate"
Click "check in"
The checked in appointment will include a link to the estimate, until the estimate is converted to an invoice, after which, the appointment will include a link to the invoice. |
