TCS Unapplied Advanced Utility is a Windows application that automatically applies encounter or account unapplied transactions to outstanding patient balances in NextGen Practice Management.
This utility creates un-posted batches in NextGen Practice Management which is a reversible process by deleting the batch. Once a batch is posted within NextGen Practice Management the transactions are irreversible therefore the batches should be reviewed before posting.
