Fixed Fees

A fixed fee invoice is an invoice that contains a total amount due without itemized time and cost entries. There are several ways to create a fixed fee invoice. The method you choose depends on the functionality available in your time and billing system, your billing practices and whether you plan to mix fixed fees and with other types of line items on the same invoice. The following are methods to create a fixed fee invoice:

• If timecards/expenses need to be shown as one fixed fee entry in the electronic billing file, the matter needs to have an arrangement type of fixed fee. Matter arrangement types can be mapped from your Time & Billing system in Configure the eBillingHub, Map Matter Arrangement Types.
• If the invoice has no timecards (interim or fixed fee bills), it will automatically show a single entry in the electronic billing file. In the LEDES format, this will be shown as an IF line.
• If an invoice has a single timecard treated as a flat fee, it will appear as a fixed fee bill in the electronic billing file. For more information, see Flat Entries.
