A core customer invoice
Numbering, statuses, payments, reminders and credit notes follow the normal customer invoice flow: a credit note becomes a storno, a reminder has three levels.

Scope and limits
The module is open in early access, for Switzerland only (document languages: French, German, Italian). Pinnokio produces the invoice and the voucher: the reimbursement decision rests with the insurer and is never guaranteed. As the official insurer register is licensed, you enter your insurers yourself. TARDOC, physician invoicing, paramedical LAMal tariffs, home care and nursing homes, hospitals and pharmacies are not covered today.
Frequently asked questions

For which professionals?
