LeanLaw

When migrating your Clients and Matters to LeanLaw some may carry open A/R balances. In order to get those entered in your new LeanLaw environment

The opening A/R balance can be entered directly into QBO, or in LeanLaw.  

___________________________________________________________

Create a Fixed fee in LeanLaw with the description "Opening Balance".

Now create an invoice the Client containing just that fee. 

The balance will now be included in reporting, and revenue allocation within LeanLaw.

Once you have clicked into the client, locate and click the "edit" button. 

From the Edit screen, select the "Payments and Billing" tab
