Viewing and reprinting historical invoices

It is often helpful to view or reprint previous invoices for a client. DT Practice 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
    note
    • 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)
