How to set Trust Startup Balance 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

To create a new Startup Balance;

1. Log into Amicus by CARET and open the Billing side.
    
2. Select the Office module.
    
3. On the top menu select Actions > Startup Balances > Unbilled Expenses.
   
    
4. Select the File and move it to the Current Selection then click OK.
    
5. The Trust Receipt window appears. Fill in the required information:
   - Receipt to
   - Date
   - Receipt #
   - From
   - Amount
   - Ref #
   - Method
   - Description
   - File allocation (optional, if the Client has multiple Files)
   
    
6. Click Save & Close. or Save & New, if to enter another Trust Receipt

If necessary, afterward you can edit these Trust Receipts from the Trust list in File Details or the Receipts list in the Trust module.

Rather than entering several Trust Receipts on a File, consider entering a single Receipt to cover the Trust balance as of the Startup Date.
