Working with 'Outstanding Client Invoice' Merge Fields

Modified on Wed, 5 Jun at 2:46 PM

In this article:



Actionstep offers a set of merge fields to display details for outstanding invoices. For any invoice with an amount still owing, the amount paid, balance due, invoices date, invoice reference, and invoice total can be displayed. This is helpful for conveying to clients, the specific amounts they can pay for specific invoices.




Finding the Unpaid Client Invoice Merge Fields

The Unpaid Client Invoice merge fields can be found in Actionstep's merge field list.


To find this list:

  1. In Actionstep, go to Admin > Document assembly
  2. Click Manage in the Merge field list section. The Merge Field List page appears.
  3. Click the Filter drop-down list and choose 
  4. From the Data Source list, choose Unpaid Client Invoices.


The available merge fields are:


Merge Field
Description
UnpaidClientInvoice_DateDate for the invoices
UnpaidClientInvoice_ReferenceActionstep invoice reference
UnpaidClientInvoice_TotalInclusiveTotal of the invoice, including tax
UnpaidClientInvoice_AmountPaidAmount that has been paid on the invoice
UnpaidClientInvoice_BalanceDueAmount still owing on the invoice





Using the Unpaid Client Invoice Merge Fields

The Unpaid Client Invoice merge fields can be used in bill/invoice templates.


Following is an example of a repeating table:


Date

Invoice Ref.

Invoiced Amount

Paid Amount

Amount Due

[[*REPEAT|data_source=unpaid_client_invoice|tablerow*]]

[[UnpaidClientInvoice_Date|fm=entry |rn=*]]

[[UnpaidClientInvoice_Reference|rn=*]]

[[UnpaidClientInvoice_TotalInclusive|rn=*]]

[[UnpaidClientInvoice_AmountPaid|rn=*]]

[[UnpaidClientInvoice_BalanceDue|rn=*]]

[[*REPEAT|END*]]


Which then merges a table that looks like this:



NOTE:  The square-bracketed merge fields in the example table can be used in email templates, while matter document and invoice templates need the merge fields inserted using MS Word merge fields. See Document Templates for more information.
