Practice Pro - Generating Pre-Bills
To generate prebills:
Navigate to the Unbilled page on the left sidebar to review all unbilled time and expenses by Matter or by Client, generating prebills by default.
The grid on the 'By Matter' tab lists each Client and Matter.
The 'By Client' tab displays the same set of columns and details, but organized at the client level rather than the Matter level.
To change what columns are present in the grid, select Settings and choose which columns you want to display.
Within the Actions column you have the option to generate a single prebill or view the individual unbilled charges present for that client.
With Client Based Billing, you can select a client and bill your unbilled charges.
With Matter Based Billing, you can select a matter and bill your unbilled charges for a specific matter on a single invoice.
Then use the available filters to narrow down which pre bills you want to generate multiple matters on a single invoice.
See an option to include all unbilled expenses when enabled.
This will include all expenses regardless of their date.
After applying filters, you can save the filter for future use.
Most firms save filters by client originator or matter originator.
Select save filters.
Name your filter. Click save filters.
The saved filter will appear as a button underneath the filter section in the future.
Click it and all your chosen filters will instantly reapply.
You can now generate all pre bills in the grid at once by clicking Generate Pre Bills and then Generate All.
Alternatively, you can select individual matters, click Generate Pre Bills and choose Generate Selected.
You'll be prompted to confirm the invoice date, which can be updated now or in bulk later.
When sending invoices, click Generate Pre bill.
Once pre bills are generated, they move to the pre bill page where you can review and edit each pre bill, approve it, convert it into an invoice and send it to the client.
