Open Dental Forum

I was reviewing the API documentation, and I don't see the ability to:

1) Post a payment that is allocated to procedures
2) Post payments for insurance

Am I missing something in the documentation, and do you know when this is planned if I am?

Thank you,
Marty

Good morning,

Sleon, Good morning.

I noticed in Payments proc numbers can be passed.

"procNums": [13,14,18]

However what amounts are allocated? In Open Dental you can allocate an amount to a specific procedure.

Open Dental allows you to allocate an amount to a specific procedure via paysplit, not payment. The API will not support a PaySplits POST or PUT method.

You can use Payments POST. This method allocates money on a FIFO basis. If you want to pay on a different basis, you can call Payments POST with that amount and specify only a single procedure as many times as needed.
