TS 2005 MASTER CLIENT : MULTIPLE INVOICE NUMBERS, NO BALANCE BETWEEN RETAINER AND FEES.

SOLVED

Hello,

As i got a good answer last time, i have a new question.

When i print the master client invoice, including the projects, the invoice shows  for each project a new invoice number, although i would prefer just one invoice number for the master client's invoice.

The invoice does not balance the paiement received and the projects fees. I received one retainer and wrote it on the master client. The invoice just shows the paiement received on the 17.12.2014, lists the projects and for each project,  the fees owed. The there is no balance.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards.

    Welcome to the forum.  Your question is a bit broad for this venue, but I'll try to provide some insight for you.

    When you use the Master Client/Client.Project arrangements in Timeslips you will ALWAYS get a separate invoice for each project.  That is how it works.  Each project will have its own Invoices, A/R Balances and Trust accounts.  

    While it is possible to run a consolidated bill to include all the projects and get a grand total, they are still separate billing entities in the program.

    IF what you really want is ONE super big bill/Invoice with all of the various projects grouped and subtotaled on it, with ONE A/R and ONE Trust account, then you do not want to use the Master Client/Client.Project arrangements.  What you want instead is ONE Client that you use to create the slips, but MULTIPLE References.  You can then subtotal by Reference on the one long bill to group the slips accordingly.

    Hope this helps.
