(If you select, for example, to send the automatic reminder 7 days before, but there are 5 days until the appointment, logically it can only be scheduled to be sent 4 days before the appointment.)
You can also select the time you want it to be sent from the Time dropdown. If the customer has several email addresses, you can choose which one you want to send it to.
If you select the option "Send me a copy", you will receive a copy in your email.

To make a new exit or check-in (finish the animal's stay at the hotel), you have two options:
Option 1: In the check-in document, at the bottom, clicking on the Make Check-out button
Option 2: In view > check-in > by clicking on the Make Check-out button
In either case, the process is the same. It is about finalizing the aanimal's stay at the hotel. You Can:
Make check-out + pay and invoice directly.
Make only the check-out and make the pay/invoice process later
CASE 1: Check-out + pay and invoice directly
Click on the button check-out, pay and invoice
Review all the information, concepts, customer data, etc. and click pay and invoice
A pop-up opens.If that invoice is exempt from taxes, select the option (Taxes = NO), and the invoice without taxes is generated.

note: You can configure the format of the invoice's numbering. You do not have to manually write the number of each invoice, the software fills it in automatically so that the invoices are consecutive.
You can view all the sales or invoices in the View > Sales option
CASE 2: Make only the check-out
If you're now making the check-out, but still can't continue with the pay/invoice process, just click the Check-Out button.
This will be very useful if the customer, for example, has not yet come to pick up the animal and pay for the service or if you are going to deliver it at home and at that moment charge the client for accommodation, if the staff in charge of the animals registers the check out in the software and then the customers at the checkout/reception pay the payment for the stay, etc. You can register and check out and leave the room free, and then make the payment and invoice.
To later charge and invoice, in the option View > check-outs > Select it and click on the Pay/invoice button. You just have to follow the same steps as Case1.
In the option View > Sales, you can view all the sales or invoices and you can reprint the invoice or send it by email, if you need it.
IF YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE, AND YOU NEED TO "CORRECT" THAT INVOICE
The invoices cannot be deleted or modified, because the legislation does not allow this procedure.
If you have made a mistake when making an invoice (for example the customer you have selected is not the correct one, it's not possible to simply delete that invoice and create a new one or modify it to change the customer. It's necessary to make an Invoce refund. This is a type of invoice that we will use to rectify an ordinary invoice in which we have made a mistake.
When making an Invoce refund, the previous invoice, the payment and the stay/service/sale are cancelled.
Invoce refund and Invoices cannot be deleted. When the invoice is canceled by generating a Invoce refund, it's not possible to delete or "undo" that Invoce refund.
This process is irreversible, for this reason, when you click on the Refund button, the cancellation is not done directly, A pop-up appears for you to confirm that you want to make the Invoce refund. In other words, we have included a double confirmation, so that the Invoce refund is not made by mistake.
As we said before, making an Invoce refund cancels the previous invoice, the payment and the stay/service/sale. To register that stay/service/sale again, it's necessary to enter the stay/service/sale data again and finish it. Once it's finished, you can make the payment/invoice.
When you re-enter the stay/service/sale, it will not be duplicated, because the previous one has been canceled when making the Invoce refund.
Let's see it in an example:
You have selected Juan Gomez, but it is an error, because the correct client is Juan Lopez and you have already make the invoice. How can you solve it?When making the invoice if you see that you have made a mistake, or in the View > Sales option > select the invoice you want and click on it.
Click on the Refund button to making a Invoce refund.
You can write the reason why you make the Invoce refund, for example an error in the customer's data.
This Invoice refund includes reference to the invoice that is being "corrected" (the number and date of the invoice)
You can configure the invoice numbering and the numbering of the refund invoice in the Configuration option.
You can print it or send it by email if you want
Now you can do again de check-in, services or sale selecting the correct data and at the end of the check-out, service or sale, you can make the payment/invoice with the correct data.
