It is often helpful to view or reprint previous invoices for a client. Practice CS provides several locations where you can view historical invoices.

Prior Invoices portlet on the Client Dashboard

In this portlet, you can perform the following actions:

• Preview invoices
• Print invoices
• Open invoices in the Detail Billing screen

  Note: If an invoice is posted or there is a credit applied to it, you can view the detail billing screens for the invoice, but depending on your firm’s security settings, you may not be able to modify it.

• Edit the Date, Due Date, Notes, Office or Reference

  Notes

  • If you select multiple invoices you can change them with a single edit.
  • Depending on your firm’s security settings, you may not be able to edit an invoice that is posted or has a credit applied to it.
• View the individual WIP transactions billed on an invoice

  Note: To show the individual WIP transactions, right-click and choose Show Options. In the Options panel, mark the Show Details checkbox. The application will display, at the bottom of the portlet, the details for the selected invoice.

• Print the content of the portlet (right-click and choose Print Grid from the context menu)
