  • Added 2 new fields on the Setup > System Config > Extended Config > Billing screen:

    • Vacation Day Processing Type - This setting provides greater control over how the vacation days are processed before billing. By default, it will reduce the amount due for vacation days and billable absent days entered into the system.
  • Added a "Type" column on the family record > Vacation screen under the Vacation Summary table which will display "Absent Day" or "Vacation Day". Also resolved an issue that caused the remaining vacation days to be lowered when an absent day was used for third party coverage for a family.
