Setting Up Late Charge Compounding

Late charge compounding is controlled through billing format codes. Perform the following steps for each billing format code for which you want to include the option to compound late charges. Once a billing format code is set for late charge compounding, late charges on invoices for matters that use that billing format code will be automatically compounded.

NOTE: This option is not normally enabled. Check the law with your local jurisdiction to make sure this is permitted.
