(What this page is, why it exists, how it is used, and what business problem it solves)
- What Is the Appointment Coupon Page?
The Appointment Coupon Page is a central management screen for appointment-based coupons, vouchers, and insurance-related credits given to customers.
It is not just a list of coupons.
It is a control center that connects:
-
Customers
-
Appointment types
-
Insurance companies
-
Financial amounts
-
Documents (PDFs, invoices)
In simple words:
This page tracks every appointment coupon from creation → usage → invoicing.
- Why This Page Exists (Core Business Purpose)
In medical and service-based businesses, coupons are often used for:

This page is used daily by:
-
Front-desk staff

Operations managers
Typical Questions It Answers
-
Which coupons are unused and still valid?
-
Which coupons were already used?
-
How much value is left on each coupon?
-

- What a “Coupon” Means in This System
A coupon represents a financial credit linked to an appointment.
Each coupon can contain:
-
A unique coupon code
-
A customer
-
An appointment type
-
An optional insurance company
-
A total amount
-
A remaining (left) amount
-
Notes and documents
-
A status (unused / used)
This makes each coupon a mini financial record, not just a code.

Clear financial visibility
