Product Help Banner.png

 

This tab provides details of draft bills together with a full billing history for the selected client. Bills created at both the client level and assignment level are listed here. Any draft bills created for the client can be accessed from here. Double–click a draft bill in the list to open the Billing Main pages for the bill from where you can complete the billing process.

Once a bill has been posted it will appear in the Full Billing History area. The Full Billing History area shows the client’s previous invoices. From here you can view the previous bills and use them as a template for repeat bills.

The following buttons are available at the bottom of the Bills tab:

This button displays the Create Repeat Bill Template window where you can use an existing bill as the basis for creating repeat bill entries. For example, you could stipulate that a particular bill was required on a specific frequency (that is, daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly). If you want to create a repeat bill based on a bill created at the assignment level, you will need to create the repeating entry from the Bills tab in the Assignment page.
