Print Milestone/Percent Complete Bills

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to print your milestone/percent complete bills. Note that these are the unposted bills currently residing in the Enter Milestone/Percent Complete Bills screen (Projects\Transactions\Billing). As noted in the documentation for Enter Milestone/Percent Complete Bills, the billed history for each project is retained in that screen. You can print posted and unposted milestone/percent complete bills, since they both reside in the Enter Milestone/Percent Complete Bills screen. However, posted bills will not contain a company-wide invoice number, and the Current Amt Due field will be zero for these bills.

Note: You can use the Print Options screen to archive a report for later viewing or printing. Select File » Print Options from the menu (you can also click the Print Options icon on the toolbar), select the Archive checkbox, and enter the appropriate parameters in the Archive group box. You can use the Archived Reports screen (Administration\Review\Archived Reports) to view or print the archived report.

When should I use this screen?

Use this screen after you have edited the bills in the Enter Milestone/Percent Complete Bills screen (Projects\Transactions\Billing) and before you have posted the bills.

Field Descriptions

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID.  A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters.  Once you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.  

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency.  Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process.  If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults.  You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.  You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as “PERIOD” or “QUARTERLY.”  

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections.  Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
