Happy 250th Birthday, America — Atlanta Based Systems, proudly American-made for nearly 50 years

Celebrating America's 250th

Happy 250th Birthday, America

As the nation marks 250 years in just a few days, we're proud that Atlanta Based Systems has been American-made for nearly 50 of them. Since 1977, our software has been built right here in Georgia for dental labs across the country — and we're just getting started. From all of us at ABS: thank you for letting us be part of your lab. Happy Independence Day!

Key Announcements

Get More From the Doctor Portal: the Super User Role

Many labs don't realize the Doctor Portal includes a Super User feature — it lets one login oversee and access multiple accounts under a practice or group. Our fresh, plain-language quick-reference walks through exactly how to set it up and who it's for.

New in Evolution 14.5: Fix a Patient Name on Any Case — Even Old Ones

The new Case Change Patient operation lets you correct the patient name on a case of any age and have it update on both the invoice and the statement automatically — no more manual edits or mismatched paperwork.

Batch Printing Work Tickets & Invoices

Still printing one at a time? Evolution can print work tickets and invoices in batches — a big time-saver many labs don't know exists. Set your criteria once and send the whole run to your printer.

Internal Remakes: Rerouting Completed Case to Return to Production

If a completed case needs to be returned to production, you can use the Internal Remake form to accomplish this under menu path: Management > Int Remake. Follow the same steps as you would to reroute any case, by selecting any step prior to Shipping. Once the case is rerouted, it will now be available to reschedule, if necessary. 

 NOTE: If the case was invoiced prior to rerouting, the invoiced line item(s) will NOT be available for changes during rescheduling. You may, however, add additional product(s) and schedule those.

 

Payment Remittance & Volume Discounts

Two month-end time-savers in one guide. Evolution's payment remittance tools help you apply and reconcile incoming payments quickly to keep your A/R clean — while sales volume discounts let you reward your higher-volume doctors automatically based on their statement totals. Our quick-reference walks through setting up both right on the statement.

Pro Tips & Tricks

1. Fastest Support — Contact support@atlantabasedsystems.com or call 1-800-476-2097 Ext. 1. Please do not send support requests to individual ABS employee emails.
2. Use Pay By Invoice for Faster Posting — When a payment covers specific invoices — or spans multiple doctors with known invoice numbers — the Pay By Invoice option lets you apply it directly to those invoices instead of hunting account by account. A simple way to keep posting fast and accurate.
3. Did You Know? Open Several Report Windows at Once — You don't have to close one report to run another. Evolution lets you keep multiple View Reports windows open side by side, so you can compare figures without losing your place.
 

FAQs

What's the difference between a CC Transaction and a Payment — and how do I apply payments?

A credit-card transaction (in CC Transactions) and a posted payment aren't always the same thing — a card can show a decline and a successful charge on the same record, which trips up a lot of labs. We're publishing a Payment processing Operations document for your reference.

See Payment Processing Operations

How do I add a new service or product?

Adding a new service or product takes a few connected steps — creating the recipe, setting the service display order, and adding any metal. Our existing two-page guide walks through the whole sequence so nothing gets missed.

How do I issue a credit memo?

There are two ways: build a credit memo from scratch, or generate one from the original case. Credit-memo line items are more flexible than scheduled invoices, which is exactly why a quick refresher helps — we're linking credit memo processing documentation so your team can pick the right method every time.
