How to set Startup Balances of Accounts Receivable on Files

Billing Users and Billing Supervisors can enter Startup Balance transactions for each File as applicable:

• Unbilled Time Entries and Expenses
• Trust, General Retainer, and Accounts Receivable
• These transactions contribute to the balances as of the Startup Date

1. To create a new Startup Balance, log into Amicus and open the Billing side of Amicus and select the Office module.
    
2. On the top menu select Actions > Startup Balances > Accounts Receivable.
    
   
    
3. Select the File the Accounts Receivable is being entered for.
    
4. Enter the Accounts Receivable details:
   - AR Date
   - Invoice Number (preferably the Number of the oldest outstanding Bill for the Client)
   - Outstanding Fees
   - Outstanding Expenses
   - Taxes (if any)
   - Posted Interest (if any)
   - Fee Distribution.
   
   
    
5. Click Save & Close, or Save & New to repeat the process for another File.

A Bill with the specified Invoice Number is automatically posted to enter the balances.

TIP: If a File has multiple outstanding bills, you may enter either a single set of lump sum balances or separate sets of balances for the different bills to facilitate aging.
