| Take Action |
The Take Action pane of the Pre-Bill Information window allows you to quickly perform common actions for the currently selected pre-bill. Click the
icon to switch to the Comments pane.
| Mark as Reviewed | This option is only shown if the current pre-bill is not marked as “reviewed.” Click Mark as Reviewed to mark the current pre-bill as reviewed. Pre-bills marked as reviewed can have a final statement generated from the Pre-Bill Tracking window. The Pre-Bill Information window will then be closed. |
| Mark as Not Reviewed | This option is only shown if the current pre-bill is marked as “reviewed.” Click Mark as Not Reviewed to clear the “reviewed” status from the current pre-bill. The Pre-Bill Information window will then be closed. |
| Add Fee | Click Add Fee to open the Fee Entry window for the current client. When the fee is saved, the Pre-Bill Information window will be updated to include the new fee. |
| Add Cost | Click Add Cost to open the Cost Entry window for the current client. When the cost is saved, the Pre-Bill Information window will be updated to include the new cost. |
| Add Payment | Click Add Payment to open the Payment Entry window for the current client. When the payment is saved, the Pre-Bill Information window will be updated to include the new payment. |
| Add Client Funds Entry | Click Add Client Funds Entry to open the Client Funds Entry window for the current client. When the client funds transaction is saved, the Pre-Bill Information window will be updated to include the new client funds transaction. |
| Select Fees |
Click Select Fees to open the Select Fees for Pre-Bill window to see unbilled fees for the current client. When the lookup window is closed, the Pre-Bill Information window will be updated to include selected fee transactions. Note: The Select Fees action is not available for pre-bills generated using a Statement Template with an Info Only Fee Format. Fees for Info Only statements remain as work-in-process, and are therefore not protected like other pre-billed transactions. Info Only statements are commonly used for contingency clients. Users can add, change, or delete fees if they have rights to do so. Each time a pre-bill is viewed, the fees will be refreshed based on the current WIP transactions, using the fee transaction cut-off date specified in Generate Statements when the pre-bill was created. Finalizing the pre-bill also refreshes the fees, so the final statement will be created based on current WIP transactions. |
| Select Costs | Click Select Costs to open the Select Costs for Pre-Bill window to see unbilled costs for the current client. When the lookup window is closed, the Pre-Bill Information window will be updated to include selected cost transactions. |
| Write-Up/Write-Down | Click Write-Up/Write-Down to open the Write-Up/Write-Down Fees and Costs window for the current client. |
| Reorder Fees | Click Reorder Fees to open the Reorder Fees window with the current matter specified. |
| Matter Manager | Click Matter Manager to open the Matter Manager for the current client. |
| Finalize |
Click Finalize to mark the pre-bill as reviewed and create a final statement that matches the current pre-bill, without displaying the Generate Statements window. The Final Statement Information window will then be displayed showing the statement. Note: The transactions and statement options specified for the selected pre-bill are used. The Final Template specified for the client is used as the statement template. To finalize multiple pre-bills at once or specify options for use on the final statement, use the Pre-Bill Tracking window to mark them as Reviewed, and then click the Final Statements button instead. |
| Undo Pre-bill | Click Undo Pre-bill to delete the current pre-bill. All included transactions will be unmarked and returned to work-in-process. |
| Click Print to open the Print window for the selected pre-bill. No settings are displayed. |
