Introduction to Star Billing

Star: Billing helps you to raise bills for any active Client in the database.

Details of all unbilled Work in Progress (WIP) transactions are visible and may be fully or partially written out against the fee, thereby creating either a Profit or a Loss. This ensures that WIP is billed as quickly and easily as possible, and that profitability is correctly allocated and recognised within the practice.

The Star: Billing application interface has been designed to minimise the number of clicks required for billing operations, and offers significantly greater flexibility than the Billing Wizard featured in Star's Windows Billing application.

The four main tabs within the application - from left to right: Client/Job Selection, Detailed WIP Allocation, Bill Text, Approvals - reflect, and to some extent impose a logical billing workflow, with options available only when and where pertinent. The main toolbar options are always contextual to the current tab view.

Before Staff can use Billing, an administrator must complete various set-up tasks, each of which is detailed below.
