About streamlined estimates

- You can add product bundles to estimates
- ezyVet continuously and automatically saves changes while you make an estimate
- You have easy access to buttons to send estimates to clients with email and SMS
- You can easily decline estimate line items and put them back
- ezyVet automatically changes estimate statuses and shows statuses clearly

Product bundles and estimates
Streamlined Estimates is compatible with product bundles. As a result, you can quickly and easily add a product bundle to an estimate line item.
If an estimate line item has a product bundle, you can make changes to the item quantities of the product bundle directly from the line item. To make changes, hover over the line item and select the edit button. Then, use the dialog box that shows to enter applicable quantity values.
Declined items
Initial values of estimate line items
The estimates screen can show a Reset items button. Use Reset items to set one or more products to initial values. For example, if you make changes to a product price and discount, select Reset items to set the product to its initial values. The product record settings are the source of the initial values.
Discounts for estimate line items
After you select Discount, ezyVet shows a dialog box that you can use to enter a discount percentage and to select a price adjustment reason.
An estimate can use a price adjustment rule (PAR) for automatic estimate discounts.
- The PAR continues to use the initial date of the estimate to calculate estimate discounts
- As a result, the invoice that ezyVet makes from the estimate will possibly have different prices compared to the estimate
Sales templates and estimates
Streamlined Estimates is compatible with sales templates. As a result, you can quickly and easily add many products and items to an estimate at the same time.
Invoices and estimates
A practice manager can configure ezyVet to automatically make an invoice from an estimate. ezyVet makes the invoice after you select in the estimates screen.
- Select a staff member for the invoice
- Select a clinical record for the invoice
- Adjust the quantities of each line item
Send estimates to clients
When a client receives the estimate, they can enter an electronic signature to accept it. After they enter a signature, ezyVet automatically changes the estimate to the Accepted status.
-
The document template that you use for estimates
- The email template that you use for estimates
Estimate copies
The estimates screen of the Streamlined Estimates feature shows a Copy button. Use the button to quickly and easily make a copy of an estimate.
After you select Copy, ezyVet shows a Copy estimate dialog box. Use the dialog box to make changes to the information to the estimate copy that ezyVet will make. For example, compared to the source estimate, you can select a different patient or client, and you can change the estimate name.
Estimate printing
Streamlined Estimates has two methods that you can use to print an estimate. The easiest method is to open the applicable estimate, then select Print. As a result, ezyVet immediately prints the estimate or shows a PDF of the estimate that you can print.
