The monthly WIP review: bill, hold or write off

LiveFor: All staff, Partner

Answer each client line; partners see who has answered.

Once a month, every client with unbilled WIP is put to the colleague who manages it (or, without a manager, owns it), who answers Bill, Hold or Write off.

The WIP Review page with My Clients and Everyone, a Start October 2026 Review button and an explanation of the monthly review.
WIP Review, before the first review.

A colleague with Billing access presses the Start … Review button (such as Start October 2026 Review) once. From then on, each month’s review opens on its own on the 1st.

  1. Go to Time > WIP Review; My Clients lists yours.

  2. For each client, read the Unbilled amount, the Hours and the Oldest entry; open Time entries to see what is in it.

  3. Choose an Answer: Bill, Hold or Write off.

  4. Add a note if it needs explaining, and save.

Everyone lists every client in the review with its accountant and answer, so partners can chase what is still open. Colleagues with Billing access can answer any line; everyone else answers their own.

Still need help?

Ask your firm's BMS admin first: they can see your access level and your firm's settings. Clients of a firm should contact their accountant.
