Prebilling reports are used when a practice would like to see a printed report of the work that has been completed for a client. A practice may use a prebilling report as the basis on which to raise an invoice for a client, or as an alternative to making their allocations directly in the billing screen. Prebilling reports are generated at the individual client level (unless the client is a parent client, in which case all the WIP recorded for their child clients will also be included). There are four prebilling reports available in the Client page > Assignment tab. Note The Pre Billing Reports toolbar link is available on all tabs for assignments.
