| Bill Code |
The Bill Code value defines the transaction code's default billing and print status (i.e., billable or non-billable and printable or non-printable). Printable indicates whether the transaction will print on the statement. The Bill Code specified here is simply a default and can be overwritten when making fee and cost transactions. The Bill Code can only be entered for Type 0 (Normal), Type 4 (Description Only), Type 5 (Miscellaneous) and Type 6 (Progress Fee) transaction codes. Values include:
0 - Billable / Printable
1 - Non-Billable / Non-Printable
2 - Non-Billable / Printable
3 - Billable / Non-Printable
4 - Billable / Always Print
Note: The Billable/Always Print option indicates the transaction is billable and will always print even when a Summary Fee Format, Expense Format or Advance Format is being used. However, transactions with a Bill Code of "4" will not print on the statement if the client's Fee Format, Expense Format or Advance Format is set to No Fees, No Expenses or No Advances. For example, if a client has a Fee Format of Summary, then normally only Type 4 (description only) transaction codes will print on the statement with the total amount from all Type 0 (normal) and Type 5 (miscellaneous) transaction codes. However, if you want one or more transactions to be printed as separate line items, then use a Bill Code of "4" for those transactions.
