Amendment Transactions AMG/AMF

There are two sorts of Amendment Transactions:

  • Generated by the practice (Outgoing) - An outgoing Amendment Transaction (Out)(AMG) results from a change made by the practice to specific aspects of a permanent patient on their registration record within Registration. The transactions display in Transactions Management under Daily Transactions. Amendment messages are automatically generated after a PDS/Vision 3 update.

  • Generated by the TP (Incoming) - An incoming Amendment Transaction (In) (AMF) results from any registration record amendment made by the TP and transmitted to the practice, including any changes to the NHS or CHI numbers, which can only be amended by the TP. Newly transmitted Amend-In Transactions display in Transactions Management under Incoming Transactions with the option to delete them, see Incoming Amendment for details.

What triggers an Amendment Transaction?

Updates to the following Registration details generate amendment transactions:

GP Code* GP Ref** Surname Forename(s)
Previous Surname Birth Surname** CHI Number** NHS Number
Title* Sex Date of Birth Address (5 lines)
Postcode Drugs Rural Milage Road

Note - Amending some details may also have other implications, for example, a change of address out of the practice area may result in a Deduction Transaction being sent by the TP, and removal of the patient from the list.
