Steps for Billing/Invoicing Schedules
The Billing Module is where you calculate and process your billing for a specified period of time based on finalized schedules. Billing can only be completed on finalized schedules.
When finalizing a schedule, if the hours in the Billing and Payroll information/Billing section of the schedule are 0.00, the system will automatically move information into the Billing Time fields of the schedule based on the actual hours worked and the Bill Hours At: option selected on the Client or Payer's Billing options. Whatever is populated in this portion of a finalized schedule is what will be used in Billing for the schedule. If you wish to apply an override for Billing for a schedule, you can manually populate information in the Billing section of the schedule.
PLEASE NOTE:
The tools displayed at the top of the Billing Module screen are a reflection of what External Billing Packages have been selected in the Agency Office Module, under the Settings tool, Billing Settings. (Additional setup may also be required in order to utilize a selected External Billing Package )
Open the Billing Module / Click on the Billing Module Icon

Step 1 - Calculate Billing | - Click on the "Start Billing Process" tool or the Calculate Billing tab to open the Calculate Billing tab.
- Enter the date range for your billing period. Click the View Data icon in the main display toolbar.
- Select the finalized schedules for which you want to calculate billing by checking the box to the left of each name in the main display grid. Confirm that any filter options selected are appropriate.
- To calculate the billing for the selected schedules, click the Calculate Billing tool in the ribbon at the top of the screen.

Step 2 - Post Billing | - Once Billing has been calculated, click Next Step to open the Billing Calculated tab.
- By default, the billing records calculated for the last batch's date range will be displayed in the main display grid. (The batch should be the batch you entered in Step 1).
You can view the information in the grid or run an Invoice Pre-Post Report, a Billing Report or the Consolidated by Payer/Client Rate Report (icons located on the main ribbon) to detect any billing errors.
When all of the information in the main display grid of the Billing Calculated tab is correct, make sure all of the records are checked and click Post Billing. Posting your billing indicates that it is correct and ready to have invoices printed or exported to an external billing package. Posting billing marks the records as completed and also creates and assigns Invoice numbers. Records must be posted in order to either print invoices or export billing to an external billing package.

Step 3 - Print or Export Invoices | - Once Billing has been posted, click Next Step to open the Invoices and Export tab.
- View or Print Standard Invoices by clicking the icon on the main ribbon. The report shows the Invoices for Clients/Payers that have billing records for the batch or the date range you have selected. The invoices that will be included are displayed in the main display grid when you click View Data in the main invoices display toolbar.
- Export Invoices if necessary to selected external billing packages. The export tools that appear in the ribbon at the top of the screen will depend on the selected billing packages in the Agency Office Module Billing Settings.
