Follow these steps to bill from a trust account:
- Make sure the firm is set up as a billing vendor (File > Setup > Vendors).
- In Abacus Accounting, go to Billing > Print Bills and click Add in the upper-right. It is usually best to work in the middle tab, Select Bills Individually.
- Select the appropriate Matter and fill in the correct information. Note the Trust on Bill area in the lower-right and make the appropriate selection for this bill.
- Click Add to Billing Run.
- Select the bill, choose Preview under Destination, and click Preview. Note the trust information on the bottom of the bill.
- Close the bill.
- Go to Billing > Post Bills
- Highlight the bill that you just printed and note the Vendor # area on the bottom of the window; this is the vendor that will be the Payee on the trust check and should be the firm if it is set up as the billing vendor.
- Post the bill
- Click Done to close the window and then go to Trust > Print Trust Checks, Check Selection tab.
- Highlight the trust check and click Print
- The next page will allow you to change the check number and the option to Post Only (e.g., online bank transfer). Click Post (or Print if you opted to print a physical check).
- Click Cancel to close the window.
- Go to Billing > Payments Received
- Highlight the check that you just printed and click Post. Abacus Accounting will automatically reference this payment for the appropriate invoice and update the matter billing ledger.
- Click Done to close the window.
