The Write-Off Report details all write-offs on invoices. Write-offs are displayed per invoice and as in a summary for your entire firm. This is the ideal report for gleaning how much has been written off by matter, matter type, responsible lawyer, fee credit lawyer, invoice, client, or even your entire firm.
Each invoice entry provides information on the invoice number, client, invoice date, matter, matter type, type of charge (fee/expense), timekeeper/fee allocation recipient, original invoice total, write-off amount, new invoice total after write-off, and the account containing the amount that was written off.
The firm summary displays the charge type (fees/expenses), timekeeper/fee allocation recipient, original invoice total, write-off amount, and new invoice total after the write-off.
| NOTE: The write-off report does not include credit notes or refunds. |
Settings
There are basic and advanced setting options to further define what is displayed on the report.
