Sending Billing Reminders to Clients

The Interim Statement lists items that have been billed to your client but not yet paid. It can be sent at any time.

The Interim Statement prints out with the same letterhead as the actual bills, and has the following statement at the end of each reminder notice, "This Statement Summarizes Fees & Costs Previously Billed to You, Which Remain Unpaid."

To generate the Interim Statement:

1. Select Billing > Interim Statement. The Interim Statement window appears.
   
   

2. Complete the fields on the window as follows:

   1. All Clients or Individually Selected Clients: Select if you want to include all clients for whom a bill was generated or if you want to select specific clients to include in the statement.
      
      If you select Individually Selected Clients, you need to select the client number in the Client Number box and click Add. Continue this procedure until you have selected all the clients you want to include in the statement. Clients you select will be listed in the Selected Clients box.
      
      If you need to remove a client from the Selected Clients box, highlight the client and click Delete.
