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 \u2014 such as invoice amount and pay amount, whether the resource was paid or not, if they were paid for the original or copies, the job number and date, and basic client information.

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.<\/p>\n<p>You can search for a resource\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The invoices listed in the search results display:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invoice number<\/li>\n<li>Invoice date<\/li>\n<li>Invoice amount<\/li>\n<li>Invoice\u00a0balance<\/li>\n<li>Invoice payment date<\/li>\n<li>If the invoice was for an original transcript<\/li>\n<li>Resource pay amount and when paid<\/li>\n<li>Related business unit<\/li>\n<li>Job number<\/li>\n<li>Job date<\/li>\n<li>Case name<\/li>\n<li>Sold To and Bill To clients<\/li>\n<li>Date voided<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The results include grand totals at the bottom for invoice amounts, invoice balance amounts, and resource pay.<\/p>\n<p>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 <em>Excel<\/em> spreadsheet or\u00a0a CSV (comma-separated values) file to save, print, share, or use in other applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TL;DR: View a resource\u2019s next pay amount or their total payables \u2014 along with basic information about the invoices, such as invoice and pay amounts.
