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.

  1. Click the Clients button clipboard_e41674e55d169b5df833f5f641a645d31.png on the toolbar.

  • for a report categorised by type, click the PreBilling Report by Type clipboard_efb7ea7c10a0d8bfc7c927c186d586fad.png button. You are prompted to enter a date.  This report is ordered by the task codes that the employees used to code their timesheets for the individual client.
  • for a report categorised by employees, click the PreBilling Report by Employee clipboard_e43fb198c71177e962db9277a68e3c10f.png button. You are prompted to enter a date. This report is ordered by the employee who coded the time for the individual client and then by task code. This is useful when there may be a few people working on the assignments.
  • for a report categorised by month, click the PreBilling Report by Month clipboard_e8c7fe9489671c0e575b907bc994d33b6.png  This report is ordered by the months in which time was coded for the individual client and by employees. It is useful for practices that bill on a monthly basis or to ensure that there is no old WIP on the WIP ledger which should be written off.
  • for a report categorised by group, click the PreBilling Report by Group clipboard_ecc04835d178d94cfc27fa0e96eca6ee7.png button. The report id ordered by assignment and employees for the client. This is used to show the parent/child clients in a billing group to show the total WIP liability for a group of clients.

    The report is displayed in the report window. From here you can:

  • print the report to the default printer using the Print button
  • click File > Save to save the report as a file
