How to Generate a Client Statement

Managing client statements including preferences and workflows

Updated this week

ℹ️ The Client Statement (also known as a client account summary) allows you to share account transactions with your clients, such as their outstanding balance, charges & payments history, and available credit.

​You can generate once-off or automated client statements to keep Pet Parents informed about outstanding balances and payment history.


With the new Detailed statement format, you can view grouped sale items with quantities, amounts, and a dedicated Client Credit Balance section for full transparency.


Access & Setup

To access individual statements:

  • Go to the Patient’s Health Card

  • In the Invoices section on the right, click Preview Statement

  • Select a date range to generate the statement

To set up automated statements and preferences:

  • Go to Administration → Clinic Preferences → Invoices and Statements

  • Configure your Statement Preferences, including:

    • Statement format: Choose between Summary and the new Detailed layout (Beta)

      statement preference - detailed statements
    • Send date: Define when automated statements are emailed to clients (e.g. the 25th of each month)

      statement preference - automated send date

💡 Tip: Automated statements start one month before the selected send date.
For example, if you set the send date to the 25th, the statement period begins on the 25th of the previous month.


Steps to Generate a Client Statement Manually

  1. Navigate to the Patient’s Health Card

  2. Open the Invoices section

  3. Click Preview Statement

  4. Select a start and end date for the statement period

  5. Review the statement preview — you’ll see the new layout grouped by sale and payment
