Repeat **Steps 1-7** for each provider to update.   --- ### Disable the Same-Day Entry Requirement At some times you may need to disable same-day entry requirement for individual providers or all providers. For example, if KidKare by Minute Menu announces an extended maintenance window that may affect same-day entry, you may wish to temporarily remove this requirement. There are two ways you can approach this: - Clear the **Require Same Day Entry** box on individual provider records. - Disable **preference M.006** to remove the requirement for all providers.   --- ### Clear the Require Same Day Entry Box on Individual Provider Records 1. Click the **Providers** menu and select **List Providers**. The List Providers window opens. 2. Set filters to locate the provider to change. For details, see [**List Providers**](https://help.minutemenuhx.com/help/list-providers). 3. Click **Refresh List**. 4. Click **View** next to the provider to update.

Repeat **Steps 1-7** for each provider to update.   --- ### Disable Preference M.006 To disable same-day entry for all affected providers, disable **preference M.006**.
