A number of useful but non-critical functions were not migrated from 
Inkosi Bika 2 yet, mainly because the current development sponsors do 
not require them. The AR Import per CSV is one of them (not sure how 
that ended up in the manual - please point me to corresponding page to 
fix it).

Other functions not migrated yet:

    Invoices and price lists

    Working hours calendar for more accurate turnaround alerts and reports

    SMS results notifications

    Results as CSV email attachments

    Results faxes

    Supplies and orders - for distributing sampling and test kits,
    reagents to satellite labs etc. To form the basis of Inventory
    management module 

These will eventually become available as labs adopting Bika 3 in need 
of them sponsor their migration but I would like feedback from the list 
to see whether they cannot be funded from co-sponsorships and 
micro-funding to hasten the process. Will see whether I can put prices 
to them soon, some e.g. SMS notifications, are not big items at all.
