Transfer prepaid from one matter to another

The Prepaid Transfer feature can be used to transfer prepaid funds from one matter of a Consolidated Bill to another matter on that same bill.

Note

The 'transfer from' amounts (i.e. negative amounts) must be entered before the 'transfer to' amounts (i.e. positive amounts) may be entered.  If Prepaid is applied to any matter, it must be removed from Prepaid Applied before it may be transferred to another matter.

  1. Open the prebill on which you need to edit or add a fee or expense item.

    1. Select Billing.
    2. Click the Edit Prebill icon in the right pane.
    3. Click on the Prebill # of the prebill you need to edit, to select it.
    4. Select Form > Open from the menu.

    5. The Billing\Edit Prebill \[prebill number] window opens.

  2. Select Tools > Prepaid Transfer from the menu.

    A Prebill Transfer window opens.
