Viewing a Draft Bill
Way you can view a draft bill
Draft bills can be viewed from three places:
-
the Draft Bills page which lists all current draft bills for the practice
-
the Client record > Bills tab which lists all the draft bills for the selected client, whether raised at the client level or assignment level
-
the Assignment page > Bills tab, which lists all the draft bills raised for the selected assignment.
From all of these places, when you view a list of draft bills you can also see the date the bill was created, and the entry and authorisation status. The Draft Bills page also tells you the name of the employee who created the bill, and any write off amount and the invoice total.
Note: if you are responsible for authorising bills and are set to have either the Partner or Practice view of the main Home Page, you can choose to display the Bills Approval window. This will list any bills that are ready for your authorisation and will also show you the current status of each bill. From here you can click an item to jump to the relevant client or employee Home Page. You can also authorise the items directly from here using the buttons at the bottom of the window.

All the current draft bills for the client or assignment are listed in the Draft Bills area.

The Billing Main page opens showing the details of the selected bill. From here you can continue with the billing process or submit, authorise and post the bill (depending on your security settings).
