Overview
When Charge Interest is enabled for your firm, then ZenCase allows you to configure an individual pre-bill with charge interest. Interest can be configured to be compounding (optional), set the annual percentage rate, interest interval days, and grace period.
Note: You can override the default matter charge interest configurations by enabling the "Charge Interest" option from the pre-bill "Settings" panel when viewing a specific pre-bill.
