Searching for a specific Invoice
When searching for an invoice, you can apply these Filters in any of the billing tabs to find a certain bill. You can also search for a specific bill by typing the bill ID in the "Filter by Keyword" field and clicking Enter on your keyboard.
Clio Pro-Tip: When editing an invoice, you can opt to include letters in the ID field. Letters will not be automatically generated, but you can edit any invoice to include this information. More can be read here.
A powerful tool build into the generation process are the Filter options. These allow you to select to only include entries within a specific date range, entries found under Matters with a specified Custom Field, entries under a desired Contact, or Matter, or for entries under a Matter with a specific Responsible Attorney.
- Client - Filter for all billable entries under a specific Contact's Matters.
- Matter - Filter for billable entries under one specific Matter.
- Responsible Attorney - Filter the list of outstanding billable entries by Matters that are under a specified Responsible Attorney.
- Activities' Date Range - Select to create an invoice that grabs a week's worth of billable time and expense entries, a month's work, or even a year or further. Select the Date Range the billable entries should fall within on the invoice.
- Matter Custom Fields - Filter all Matters by a selected Custom Field.
- Search - An open text search field.
Once you have chosen your specific Filter options, click the box next to your selected Matter or Client name.
Next, click Generate at the top of the page, and your invoice will be created within your specified Filter options.
Bills sub-tabs can be found at the Matter and Contact levels. This can be seen by navigating either to the Contact or the Matter and selecting the Bills sub-tab.
From the Contact level you will be able to Filter by Responsible Attorney, Originating Attorney, Due After, Due Before and Type. You will also be able to "Filter by Keyword."
