Creating Absence Reason Rules

Create Charging Rules based on the Absence Reason (with Contract Scheme / Service / Service Detail) associated with a Person Absence record, in order to reduce charges over the period length of the Absence e.g. Service User goes into Hospital and charges reduce by 20% after 2 weeks and then by 75% after a further 2 weeks (and could stop completely after a further 4 weeks).

Navigate to Settings > Configuration > Finance Admin > Care Provider Invoicing > Person Absence Reason Rules.
