Charges to reconciled completion

Finance Officer prepares the appointment's financial handoff from its service charges, add-on charges and payment records. Operations Reviewer decides which charges are eligible for posting. Property Manager completes the visit only after the payment position or explicit outstanding-account acknowledgment has been established.

Step by step

  1. Prepare the final charge list Finance Officer

    Finance Officer checks each service description, amount and appointment link. Include the visit's add-on charges in the review. Keep Draft, Posted and Voided entries distinguishable so the final total can be explained from its source.

    • Assemble the visit's financial evidence
    • Updates Service charges, Add on charges, Appointments
  2. Approve eligible charges Operations Reviewer

    Operations Reviewer checks the submitted final list and supporting evidence. Authorize eligible charges to move from Draft to Posted. Return discrepancies for correction before relying on the amounts in the completion process.

    • Authorize posting of the reviewed charges
    • Updates Service charges, Add on charges
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  3. Confirm the receipt evidence Finance Officer

    Finance Officer matches the payment reference and amount to the provider-confirmed outcome. A Pending receipt becomes Confirmed through that separate confirmation. Review Refunded entries distinctly when explaining the payment position.

    • Correlate the receipt and record its confirmed outcome
    • Updates Payments, Appointments
  4. Reconcile the appointment Finance Officer

    Finance Officer totals posted service charges and posted add-on charges separately, then compares their combined amount with confirmed receipts. If money remains outstanding, obtain the explicit acknowledgment required for completion under the shop's agreed review policy.

    • Establish settlement or explicit outstanding acknowledgment
    • Updates Service charges, Add on charges, Payments
  5. Complete and hand over the chair Property Manager

    Property Manager submits completion after the financial conditions are satisfied. The visit moves from in service to Completed and the chair moves to Sanitizing. The chair needs its inspection before returning to Available.

    • Finish the visit and start the readiness handoff
    • Updates Appointments, Chairs, Service tickets

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Joining every charge directly to every payment multiplies the totals; aggregate each source by appointment first.
  • A pending receipt looks like settlement because its amount matches the charges.
  • A refunded payment is treated as a known partial refund without checking the external evidence.
  • Appointment completion is used to bypass an unresolved balance or confirm a payment.
