Adding a Service Unit to the Cart
Updated over a week ago

Service Units are the core statistical and billing unit in Penelope and are used to track the services you are providing (e.g. Counselling Session, Phone Call, Home Visit, Group Session etc).

Service Units can also be used to track mileage, food stamps etc and are added to the Cart in Service Events by the Workers involved in delivering the service (or any other worker with access to the event). Service Units are created by the System Administrator (or other workers with appropriate security permissions).

Service Units are sometimes referred to as Cart Items in Penelope.
