Actionstep allows you to easily store and access client invoices within their matter documents. Providing easier access to these documents for things like record keeping, sharing via the client portal, and tracking earlier versions of updated client invoices. 

 

Enabling the functionality 

To turn on this functionality go to Admin - General Settings and scroll down to feature preview. Toggle the Save Invoices to Matter (by default).

Press the green Save button. 

Then go to Admin>Billing>Other Settings and toggle "Save Invoice PDF to Matter by Default." Once this setting is enabled, Actionstep will create a folder in each billable matter type called "Client Invoices" once the first invoice on a matter has been produced for the first time.

From here users should see a list of all system roles within their Actionstep system. Users can select the green checks that correspond with the permissions that they're looking to limit and then select "Save."

Reposting Produced Invoices

Occasionally, users may find it necessary to revert a produced invoice to draft, make a change, and then re-finalize that invoice. When this happens, Actionstep will overwrite the original copy of the invoice in the documents folder. However, users can access the full version history of an invoice in the versions panel of that document.
