From version 15 onwards billing of prescriptions in Patient Encounter is moved to Service/Medication Requests.

Medication/Service Request will be created on submission of Patient Encounter with entered data in the prescription tables in Encounter.

If the 'Submit Orders on Save' field in the encounter is checked, Medication/Service Requests will be created on saving the encounter instead of upon submission. This allows the practitioner to prescribe orders without submitting the encounter.
