The 'on stop' status is used when a client account has an owed debt and the clinic wants to prevent any further outstanding balances from accruing. Only users with required permissions can mark a client account as 'on stop' and add treatment items or create invoices for a client with the 'on stop' status. See the required setting and permissions.

When all owed debts have been paid, the 'on stop' status is automatically cleared from the client's account.

To mark a client account as 'on stop':

1. In the Clients & Patients view, find the client you want to edit.
2. Go to the client page and select the pen icon next to the Client details section title.
3. In the right-hand side column at the bottom of the page, select the On stop check box.
4. Select Save. If there are any open invoices, consultations, or appointments for the client, an alert appears.
