Posting a draft bill

Accountants Office with Practice Manager only

To finalise a draft bill, you need to post it. This finalises your bill by committing the transactions permanently and moving the client WIP into the debtors ledger. Once a bill is posted, you will be unable to edit it. To correct errors on a posted bill, see Errors when entering bill amounts.

To post an individual draft bill from the Billing Main page

Open the relevant draft bill in the Billing Main page.
Click Post. A Post Confirm message is displayed.
Click Yes. The Bills Ready to Print window opens listing all the posted bills for all clients that have not been printed.
If you want to print the bill now:
1. Select the bill and click Print to open a print window and print the invoice. When the bill has successfully printed, you are returned to the Bills Ready to Print window with the bill still selected.
2. Click Printed OK to mark the bill as printed and remove it from the list.
  
  If you click Preview, the bill opens in Microsoft Word for you to review and print the bill. Close Microsoft Word when you have finished.
Click Close.
