Arrival

Functionality Arrival is used in cases when a finder brings an animal to the shelter, where we record the arrival data.
We have prepared an example of entering data about the arrival of animals at the shelter for you. The data is stored on the card Shelter which is located in the menu Veterinary | Codes | Owner and animal codes.
