Enter beginning balances

You can enter beginning balances for your clients so that you can invoice them for any unbilled time from your previous application or transfer any debits or credits on their account with you.

Time and expense or Work in Progress balance

  1. Set up a new activity you want to assign to the balances to. Skip this step if you have an existing activity.
  2. Enter a time or expense item. You can enter the entire balance in 1 item, or enter multiple items if you want to assign different activities, engagements, or staff members to different balances.
  3. When entering the item, override the
    Amount
    field. This is the beginning balance for this client, this client's particular engagement, activity, or staff assignment.
  4. Save the entry.

Accounts receivable balance

  1. Enter a debit memo for each invoice dated with the date of the original invoice.
  2. Enter a credit memo for each outstanding prepayment with the date of the original prepayment.
Use the
Reference
field in each debit and credit memo to indicate what the adjustment transaction represents. Invoices should include the word “Invoice” and the invoice number and prepayments should include the word “Payment” or “Prepayment”.
