Overview
Setting up Billing Category will require Reference codes to be able to bill the client with the rates and pay the staff with the correct amount based on their service provided. Oter reference codes are also used for Invoices, Payroll Integration, and Billing Integrations. To be able to know the corresponding Reference Code that each Reference field will require, this article will be helpful in understanding how these reference codes are derived and identifying where to fill up these Reference fields.

References
Reference codes have three main sources of reference ID:
Organisation References:
Organisation references are defined on the Settings > General Configuration page in the web portal.
Funding Source References:
Funding source references are created in a funding source template and are subsequently used when creating a client funding record.
When creating a client funding record, the references from the associated funding source template are copied over. However, once the client funding is created, it retains its own copy of these references. If any changes are made to the references in the funding source template after the client funding has been created, these changes will not be reflected in the existing client funding entries. This ensures that the client funding retains a consistent set of references regardless of any modifications to the original template.
Line-Item References (Billing Category References)
Line-item references are defined on the Billing Category page in the UI, under the rate setting of the billing category.
These references are used in a similar manner to how rates are retrieved when calculating a line item. The process of retrieving and applying line-item references during calculations follows the same method as rate retrieval.
Merging References
Generating of invoices and payroll will involve reference codes that are derived from a combination of the above references.
Income & Cost Codes
How Carevision combines the Ref Codes to create the Income and Cost Codes.
Income Code
[Funding Source Template Ref17] + [Billing Category Ref17] + [Funding Source Template Ref1] + [Billing Category Ref1]
Cost Code
[Funding Source Template Ref18] + [Billing Category Ref18] + [Funding Source Template Ref2] + [Billing Category Ref2]
