Split Bill Issue

SUGGESTED

Hello,

I setup a 50/50 split bill; the bills split correctly, but they do not print separate invoices for each client. It prints as if they are consolidated matters, which I do not want. It does assign different invoices numbers. I have two different contacts/addresses so they need to be separate. I created two matters with the same name with a different case number. This has worked in the past, but now it is not. 

Thank you

    Does the bill layout you are using have project billing turned on? That would be the first thing to check.

    Hi Caren,

    Thank you for your reply! I never heard of that setting, where can I find it?

    It is in the actual bill layout, under Sections > Configure Layout Sections.

    That was it, thank you so much! I completely missed that setting...

    I think there are two solutions to this problem. :-)

     has already shown you how to turn off Consolidated Billing in the layout. That will work, but will turn off Consolidated Billing for all clients that use that layout. Do you ever need Consolidated Billing?  If not, then you should be fine with the edit.

    But the whole reason Consolidated Billing is getting invoked in the first place is due to how you are naming the clients. Read the Help file re: Client.Project naming. By default, it is ON and set to look for the period character (.) to "know" that two Clients who share the part in front of the period, but have different backends should be consolidated.  So a very simple tweak to the naming to make them either different in front of the period, or not use a period at all (perhaps some other character such as a dash) would effectively stop the Consolidated Billing as well.

    Really just putting this out there for anyone else who may find this thread later, as I think you are fine with  's fix as well.
