What is original copayment receivable in SAP IS-H - SAP for Healthcare?

SAP Term: original copayment receivable

• Component: IS-H

• Component Name: SAP for Healthcare

• Description: SAP Healthcare - Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals Relates to the receivable procedure in copayment. The patient has made partial payments for a copayment receivable that was entered for a case. The reminder procedure has been completed for these payments and the "Post Back with Partial Payments" function is then executed. During this process, the system reverse clears this original copayment receivable. Since the "Post Back with Partial Payments" procedure creates and posts back a new copayment receivable amounting to the difference between the original receivable and the partial payments, a distinction is made here between the original copayment receivable and the new copayment receivable created by the system.
