Fee Categories

Follow

Fee categories allow you to assign categories to your fees. Fee categories will be shown on your finance reports, so you can use fee categories to gain better oversight of your practice. You can also assign fee categories to go 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 pre-defined list of fee categories for you to use when creating your fees. You can also create your own fee categories.

  1. Click Finances > Fees.

  2. Click the fee you want to edit (or click New Fee in the top-right to create a new fee).
