Where would you specify services and pricing for those that are supplied by an external provider?
Answer: One feature available now is the ability to set up a supplier price list on each individual supplier profile.
A feature that gives purchase orders and invoices a ‘billable price’ is also in development. The billable price can be a custom amount, a visit rate, or the same as the supplier price as set up in the above mentioned supplier price list. It is the amount charged to the Member, which almost always differs from the supplier price (e.g. the supplier’s price + your markup for administration overheads = amount charged to client for example).
In addition, we’re working towards allowing the automatic inclusion of overheads and loading to supplier prices. The idea is that you’ll add all your third-party supplier prices, set up the global or service-specific overhead and loadings and Lookout will automatically add these to your supplier prices, creating a billable price for the Member. Stay tuned for news about this upcoming feature.
Is the “Visit Rate” going to be used for Purchase Order (creating a PO Line> choose rate)? This is in relation to the question where they were intending to create Physiotherapy - Assessment rate?
Answer: I’m not sure if this answers this question, but the supplier price project is currently working on allowing a visit rate to be used on purchase order line items as the ‘billable price’, i.e. what’s charged to the Member. It’s yet to be released.
