AR & Collections

📄️ Accounts Receivable Redistribution

The AR Redistribution routine allows the user to redistribute the way in which compensation for a particular bill is allocated to Timekeepers. When a Matter is established in the Maintain Matters routine, the user must specify the percentage each Timekeeper associated with that Matter will receive as compensation (i.e. the percentage of the total Fees billed). Changes to these percentages once the Matter has been billed can be made through this routine. The user is also able to adjust the variance per timekeeper on a bill through this routine (i.e. the total amount of fees billed at this point may not be varianced up or down, but you may alter the variance of fees per timekeeper).

📄️ Financial Summary (Client Statistics)

The Financial Summary routine allows the user to view specific information about a Client or Bill Entity's financial status with the Firm. For example, this routine displays the individual's current balance in Trust, WIP, AR, and Aged AR. A summary of the individual's financial transactions to date are also displayed (i.e. totals in Billing, Receipts, AR Write-Offs, WIP Deletions, and WIP Variance). Note: Information in this form and it's sub forms is for display purposes only, and cannot be edited or updated by the user.

📄️ Collector Schedule And AR Follow Up Activities

The Collector Schedule and Accounts Receivable Follow Up Activities routine allows the user to schedule reminders in regards to Client collections and accounts. For example, if a Client has an overdue Bill, the user can enter reminders to send collection notices, request for payment notices, etc. On the day that the reminder is scheduled, the system will alert the user of the scheduled activity. This routine also allows the user to access the Client Collections and Financial Summary routines.

📄️ Firm Receipts

The Firm Receipts routine allows the user to enter Firm Receipts into the system, and to apply the Receipt to Client's Bills. For example, if a Client has an outstanding Bill and comes into the Firm to make a payment, a Receipt will be entered for that payment. The payment can then be directly applied to the Client's outstanding Bill. This routine also allows the user to apply Credit Notes to Client's Bills, and to create Credit Notes for payments that exceed the outstanding amount on a Bill. When the Firm Receipts routine is accessed from the eQuinox main menu, the screen shown below will be displayed.

📄️ Accounts Receivable Write Offs

The Accounts Receivable Write Offs routine allows the user to write off outstanding Bills and/or Sub-Bills. Bills can be viewed according to Client, Matter, or Bill Entity. When writing off Sub-Bills, the user has the option to perform a complete write off, a write off of only the tax amount, or a write off of only the interest amount (the user may specify the amount being written off). When writing off Sub-Bills, the user also has the option to access the AR Redistribution screen to re-allocated Timekeeper's compensation for a specific Bill. When writing off Bills, the user has the option of performing a complete write off, or a write off of only the interest amount.
