Printing a Bill

Product Help Banner.png

 

There are a number of methods you can use to print a bill using CCH Practice Management. Draft and submitted bills are printed from within the Preview window, accessed by clicking on the Preview option available from the following places during bill preparation: Billing Main page Bill Paragraphs page. Generally bills are printed once they are posted, using the Invoices Ready to Print window. This window lists all posted bills and automatically appears when a bill is posted. It can also be accessed by selecting Bills > Invoices Ready to Print... from the menu. From this window, you can either print or preview the bill using Microsoft Word. Once printed the bills are generally removed from this list. To reprint a previously printed invoice use the Client window > Bills tab, where the client's previous bills are listed in the Full Billing History list.

Print a posted bill

  1. Select Billing from the tabs at the top of the screen and then > Bills Ready to Send
