Reprinting old TimeSlips

SOLVED

I created an invoice, but never sent it to LEDS format and I cleared the invoice from the billing stages.  When I go to the "SLIPS" tab I can see the timeslips entered, but when I go to recreate the invoice the timeslips will not show up and only a "prior balance" shows on the invoice.  How do I get timeslips from the prior invoice to show on a new generated invoice.

    How do I make these Slips show as unbilled so I can have them appear on an invoice I am trying to create to get the invoice paid?  I cleared the last bill that actually showed the unpaid slips, but now TimeSlips won't reprint the slips because they are showing as billed on a prior invoice. Also, not sure if this matters, again I never sent the original invoice to LEDS format. Thank you for your help! Also, is there any other websites or books you would recommend for learning more about TimeSlips.

    Unfortunately you can only undo the last bill for a matter. the only way to do what you are asking would be to export the slips and import into a dummy matter, then generate a bill.

    What if I duplicate the Timeslips and delete the slips that were marked "billed" already?

    Do you have a backup from before the approval? Might be able to restore that on the side and rerun the LEDES bill from that.

    (For the following options, I would restore a copy of your database in a "sandbox" location where we can do whatever we want with it and not disturb your working database....)

    Otherwise to me it depends how many slips are involved.  If it is like over 50, then I might do an export/import in a sandbox database and then export the LEDES file. Mainly because it is faster than duplicating.

    But if it is just a few, then I would duplicate them in a copy of the database, run the LEDES bill out of that and then just switch back to the live database. 

    The thing is the invoice is showing in the current database as owing, we just need the LEDES file to submit, so no permanent changes need to be made to the current database.

    Thank you for your help Nancy.  I only had 10 billing entries so I went ahead and duplicated them and deleted the TimeSlips marked as already billed.  My problem now is that even though I deleted the TimeSlips marked as billed already, my invoice still shows a prior balance of the slips I deleted.  How can I get rid of that prior balance? I don't want to do a write since it will show on the invoice as write off and will show I made a mistake.

    You should never deleted billed slips, it won't change the balance. What I suggest is doing a write-off on the matter balance.

    If you have a backup from before you deleted the billed slips, I would restore and redo the steps you did. If you are not going to do that, please run a database verification with only look for errors checked. If there are errors they should be fixed as soon as possible.

    Okay, well, let's slow down a bit, because you are sort of "digging a bigger hole."Grimacing

    Let's get back to the objective.  Do you JUST need the LEDES file output? Because most folks who do LEDES do not send a paper/PDF bill, but some do and I need to know if you need to do that.

    If you don't, and you just need to submit a LEDES file, then I would put the write off into Timeslips to relieve the previous balance and run the bill with it.  

    Payments, Credits and Write offs do not export as part of the LEDES file, so it will have no impact on the content of your file that you submit to the audit house. They are invisible to the LEDES file.

    Also, if you would like a guide to doing LEDES bills, some of my colleagues and I have written a little manual on how to do that in Timeslips.  You can buy it here: http://www.certifiedresourcesnetwork.com/

    Hope that helps.
