### Billing Status
You now get to see whether a pharmacy item is billed or not before dispensing. Similarly you see the billing status of an investigation prior to collecting the sample.

# Inventory
### 3 Decimals
All buying and selling prices in inventory will be in 3 decimals at all times, to ensure tax computations are accurate to the 2nd digit.

### Save as DRAFT

# Security
### Single-Sign on is here
If your clinic uses other enterprise apps, authentication may be consolidated by use of Office 365 or Microsoft Entra IDs. Clinicea now supports this out of the box. You can have single sign on enabled as the exclusive mode of authentication or support mixed mode i.e. username and password pair or SSO. Here is a glimpse of the new feature.

**Setup SSO under Tools | Organisation | Security**
