The problems
What gets in the way, and how MannaBooks fixes it
Insurers who pay months later
Invoice each insurer and see what each owes and for how long.
Drugs that expire or go missing
Stock comes in on goods received and goes out on every sale; stock takes show the difference.
Several branches
Each branch has its own sales and stock, and you see them together.

Worked example
A medical centre
In a month the centre sees 42 patients covered by one insurer, billed at KES 186,500 in total, and sells KES 95,000 of medicines over the counter.
- 1.Over-the-counter sales are cash sales, paid by cash or M-Pesa, and take the medicines out of stock.
- 2.At the end of the month one invoice to the insurer lists the covered visits.
- 3.The insurer's balance shows on the aged receivables report until they pay.
- 4.When the payment arrives it is matched to the invoice.
| Insurer invoice | KES 186,500.00 |
| Over-the-counter sales | KES 95,000.00 |
| Month's income | KES 281,500.00 |
Many medical services are VAT exempt. Set the right VAT rate on each service and product.
