Undo the bill and start again. Make sure in the client information that the client is set for ledes98 billing. In general you want to put the bills in proof and then submit. 

Thank you, Caren! I did undo it, but the slips are gone and the invoice still appears in Billing Assistant under Billing History.

Sounds like a problem in the undo. Might want to duplicate the Slips to a temporary client in order to create the bill. I would also run a back up and run the data verification with look for errors and check the client balance to see where it went wrong as may need to fix the balance. 

If you're using LEDES 1998B, another thing to consider is the settings with the template. There is an option in there "Move clients to Audit Stage after processing".

So if you go to Setup > Audit Houses and then double click on your template, you can check to make sure this option is marked. Any changes you make will only affect bills going forward.

Good Luck!

The only reason I have seen where they go straight to undoable after printing is that the client is not set to send the bill to Electronic Delivery.  When that's the case, you need to undo the bill and change the setting and try again.

It sounds like when you did an undo of the last bill run, you were able to undo a bill that was run subsequent to the bill with the slips on it.  An unfortunate issue with running bill after bill after bill trying to get a correct result.  DO NOTHING is your friend in those cases, otherwise you paint yourself into this corner.

Your only available options at this point are to (1) restore a backup prior to running these bills and correct the issue, with the obvious re-entry of any data missing since that backup was done or (2) creating a cloned 'dummy' database of your current data, duplicating all of the slips on that bill and running the bill again, exporting it to LEDES and sending that data file along to the audit house.  Balances in this case are irrelevant since the Audit House files do not mention balances or any A/R transactions.  You would delete this dummy database after you are through, as our goal is to merely get that LEDES data file from it.
