Scenario: You have agreed to pay a 3rd party 'principal account' with the value of discount allowed, but they don't want the transaction to be visible by the sub-dentist accounts.

Method: You credit the principal customer account either by raising a credit note (Action > New Credit Note), or with a Payment Credit (Customer menu > Add payment/credit).

You can then either make a BACS payment to 'give them the money'  (Customer menu > Make refund/debit), or you can leave the value as a credit on the account.

If the customer account doesn't already exist in LabManager as a Principal Account type, create a customer account of type 'Principal Account'.
