Bills are generated in the system.
The system prevents the cashier from manually assigning debt to the patient.

All inpatient services require upfront payment.
When Disabled
Cashiers may be allowed to create debt for IPD patients.
Bills may be accumulated and settled later (e.g., as debt or at discharge).
Note:This setting helps enforce proper financial control and ensures inpatient billing is handled according to approved procedures.
