Bills not going to audit stage

I just did a bill and it did not go into the billing audit like it is suppose to. I printed it out but it is no one to be found.

  • Audit House bills MUST to go into Proof Stage first and be exported in order to get to the Audit Stage.

    I know that.  There is nothing in the Audit House after I did the bill and printed it.

    Is this a new client? Did you set it be billed using an electronic bill format? 

    What did you choose after you printed it? Put in Proof? Approve? Do Nothing?

    This is not the first bill on this one.  I approved it like I always do and it should go directed to audit stage.   Nope, it did not

    I don't feel like we are on the same page.  You keep saying you printed it, approved it and are expecting it to be in Audit Stage. That makes no sense to me.

    In order to even be eligible for Audit stage, that client has to be:

    1) set to use Electronic Billing - usually LEDES1998B format. Does this client have an Electronic Billing setting? What is it?

    2) then their bill would be printed and put into Proof Stage.

    3) From Proof Stage the bill would then be exported in the chosen Electronic Billing format

    4) after it successfully exports the electronic bill THEN and only THEN could it even possibly go to the Audit Stage. Audit Stage is optional after the export. You can leave it there until the Audit House accepts your submission, or you can approve right away after the export - but in the second case, there would not be anything listed in Audit Stage.

    If all you did was print and approve, then it sounds like that bill is NOT set for Electronic Billing. So that client will NEVER appear in Audit Stage because it fails the criteria #1 above.  You may have just run, and approved a regular old bill. Difficult to tell from your details.
