Sample Report

Report Calculations

The system analyzes all invoice payments applied within your selected date range, regardless of the invoice date.
Operating retainer payments are not considered invoice payments and will not be included in this report.
If an invoice is discounted, it is allocated in proportion to each person’s contribution/role. To allocate a discount only to a particular timekeeper, enter a flat rate timecard with a negative amount for that timekeeper and include it in the invoice prior to applying a payment. This will reduce the invoice total and the compensation only for the selected timekeeper.

Report Terminology

Billed Fee	The fee portion of the invoice If the party is a Timekeeper, it is the total billed fee for this particular Timekeeper. If the party is any other role, such as an Originating Attorney, a Responsible Attorney, etc., then the Billed Fee is the invoice’s total billed fee.
Collected Fee	When Invoice payments are applied, liabilities and costs are paid first. The fee is considered the last item to be paid on the invoice. Collected Fee represents the fees collected within the specified date range. If the party is the Timekeeper, then it is the collected fee allocated to the Timekeeper’s Billed Fee portion. If the party is any other role, such as an Originating Attorney, a Responsible Attorney, etc., then the collected fee is the invoice’s total collected fee.
Allocation %	These values are derived from the user-entered settings detailed above.
Allocated Fee	The allocated amount based on the collections and allocation %
