Look up a resource’s payables

View a resource’s upcoming pay, total payables, or both paid and outstanding amounts

Lesson #41
Inquiry – Resource Activity function

If a reporter has questions about their pay — such as whether they got paid for a particular job, what their next paycheck will include, or what’s the total amount you owe them, use Resource Activity to search for invoices that include a specific resource’s billable services.

You can view a resource’s full pay history, or use filters to focus your search. For example, you can find the next pay amount or the total payable for any resource within seconds. View basic information about the invoices at a glance, such as invoice amount and pay amount, whether the resource was paid or not, if they were paid for original or copies, job number and date, and basic client information. You can drill down to view complete details of individual invoices the same as in Client Activity, and update invoice information.

View pay history

In addition to viewing a resource’s next pay or total payables, you can also view all invoices related to the resource, including paid invoices so you can review if the resource was paid correctly for any invoice they are challenging. You can restrict the results listed to a date or date range of the related invoices, jobs, or when the invoices were posted in RB.

You can search for a resource’s invoices for a specific firm or a single contact only. You can also search for invoices related to a single case. And you can find invoices for all, some, or a single business unit.

The invoices listed in the search results display the invoice number, date, amount, and balance, payment date, if the invoice was for an original transcript, pay amount and when paid, the related business unit, job number and date, case name, Sold To and Bill To clients, and date voided. The results include grand totals at the bottom for invoice amounts, invoice balance amounts, and resource pay.

You can sort your results in the grid by one or more columns in ascending or descending order (but when you exit the function, RB will revert back to the default order). Export the list as an Excel spreadsheet or a CSV (comma-separated values) file to save, print, share, or use in other applications.

TL;DR: View a resource’s next pay amount or their total payables, along with basic information about the invoices, such as invoice and pay amounts. Drill down to view complete details of individual invoices.
