L.A.W.S./Pro Invoicing provides the ability to review and invoice client's work in process. The process is simple and straight forward. It starts with the automatic selection all matters containing work in process balances. The selection process may include the entire firm or be filtered based on a minimum amount due or to include a single billing attorney, client, or matter.

The selected matters are listed with several available actions including:

Printing Drafts: A Draft is a pre-bill work-sheet detailing the work-in-process (WIP) which will be billed. Drafts are often generated prior to the invoice allowing review, and possible modification of the work in process by the attorney before billing.

Printing Invoices: The invoice is professional looking and may be tailored to your firms, or specific client, needs by selecting various yes/no options. If required a copy of the bill may be generated in one of many electronic submission formats - such as the LEDES 1998B - and forwarded for processing.

Posting: Automatically relieves the invoiced work in process and creates the accounts receivable record. If specified, the invoice can also be automatically e-mailed to the client and/or stored in the L.A.W.S./Pro document repository.
