Create and assign fee categories

When you assign categories to fees, your finance reports generate a more detailed breakdown of your accounts, giving you a fuller oversight of your practice. You can also assign fee categories to sync to different revenue charts of accounts in your integrated accounting package.

Depending on the type of practice you are running, every profession will have different fees. With Halaxy, we have a preset list of fee categories or you can create your own fee categories.

Assign a fee category

  1. Click Finances > Fees.

  2. Add a new fee or click an existing fee in the Fees List.

  3. For Category, select a category for your fee in the dropdown.

    On the Fee edit screen, a drop-down menu labelled Category is selected.
  4. Click Save Fee.

The fee now appears under the selected category in finance reports.

Create and manage fee categories

  1. Click Settings > General.

  2. Under the Appointment Settings section, next to Fee Category List, click View All.
