Work with a Saved Draft Invoice

Click an invoice row to open the invoice.

From this screen you can:

1.  Add/change information regarding the overall invoice, including making notes and attaching files.
   
2.  Set the Client Matter ID and the Firm Matter ID.
   

   Field	Description
   Client Matter ID	Select the matter name from the drop-down list. If the matter has not yet been assigned to the vendor, then select Other from the list.
   Firm Matter ID	The matter ID from the source billing system as a means for a law firm to track it back to their records. If a Firm Matter ID is not entered, the Subject/Matter Name will be used

3. Click New Line Item to add details below the summary section.
   
   

   The data fields for entering Invoice Line Items Details are:

   Field	Description
   Type	Select the line item billing type (hourly fee, expense, or flat fee).
   Timekeeper	Select a timekeeper from the drop-down list
   Date	Enter the date on which the action was performed
   Description of Services done	This is solely to help the biller recognize the line item for themselves. It will not be visible to the client in SimpleLegal
   Expense Code	For Type Expense, select the appropriate code
   Activity Code	For Type Flat Fee or Hourly Fee, select the activity performed
   Task Code	For Type Flat Fee or Hourly Fee, select the task performed
   Units/Hrs	Enter the # of units (for expenses, flat fees, hours, etc.)  NOTE: SimpleLegal will perform the calculation of (Units/Hours x Cost/Rate) to determine the Line Total. The amount is automatically calculated and the total cannot be input manually. If the total for a flat fee or fixed cost needs to be ensured, then enter '1' as the unit and amount for Cost/Rate.
   Cost/Rate	Enter the line item cost or hourly rate here. Again, this number will be multiplied by the units/hours to generate the line total.
   Adj	OPTIONAL: Enter a negative amount to reduce the line item by this amount.
   Taxable	Tick the box if this action is taxable
   Tax Rate	Enter the tax rate as a decimal amount - e.g., 0.08 is 8% tax
   Tax Type	Name the tax
