ProcedureLogs POST & Payments POST questions

[studiofellow]

Just a couple quick questions to make sure I understand the ProcedureLogs endpoint before we request an upgrade to our developer key.

Does ProcedureLogs POST with ProcStatus=C create a procedure in the Open Dental Account module affecting the account balance?

Then the response would include a ProcNum, so I could then call Payments POST using that ProcNum, to associate a payment with the ProcedureLog?

And these would show on the Patient Account tab, like the screenshot shown on this manual document: https://www.opendental.com/manual/account.html

Thanks for your help!

Hello studiofellow,

A Procedurelogs POST with ProcStatus=C creates a completed procedurelog for a patient. The API response includes the ProcNum, which you can then use to associate payments. This procedure will appear in the patient's Account Module and affect the account balance, just like manually entering a completed procedure in Open Dental.

Starting in version 22.4.16, Payments POST accepts ProcNums, allowing you to allocate payments directly to procedures.

For further questions, please email.

Thanks!
