Select Bills for Posting

Use this screen to update the status of your standard bills to either Selected, Unselected, or Hold using a mass update feature.

This feature is available for standard and progress payment bills only; you must update customer product bills, milestone/percent complete and project product bills individually on the Manage Customer Product Bills, Manage Milestone Percent Complete Bills, and Manage Project Product Bills screens, respectively. You can also update standard bills individually on the Manage Standard Bills screen.

You can use this screen for the following purposes:

  • You can mass update the status of standard bills to Selected before posting. Before a bill can be posted, its status must be Selected. Bills that have a status of Unselected are not posted and are retained on the Manage Standard Bills screen. You can update bills by project or invoice and by bill group and billing cycle.
  • You can update the status to Selected before printing final standard bills. (If your company prints draft copies of the bills for review purposes, you can print draft copies while the bills have an Unselected status. A message indicating the Unselected status is printed at the top of each bill.)
  • You can mass update the status of the standard bills to Unselected. This is helpful if you need to re-calculate a range of bills, since the status of a bill must be Unselected before it can be re-calculated.
  • You can mass update the status of the standard bills to Hold. This is helpful if you need to put standard bills on hold after manual adjustments are made after bill calculation.
