Client-Matter balance in Matter Status AR Ledger does not match Client-Matter AR Ledger Report

• Updated April 14, 2025 17:55

The difference between the Matter Status A/R Ledger and the Client-Matter Accounts Receivable Ledger is most likely due to an unposted Invoice or an unapplied accounting transaction.  To check for an unposted Invoice, look at the Invoicing Status field on the first screen of Matter Status.  If it says "Invoiced," there is an unposted Invoice for the Client-Matter.  You can also tell if there is an unposted Invoice by looking at the Work in Process Tab in Matter Status and seeing if there is a note about an unposted Invoice.  To see if there is an unapplied accounting transaction, check the Accounts Receivable Tab in Matter Status for a note on any unapplied/unposted transactions. Matter Status A/R Ledger does not reflect Invoices until they are posted and does not reflect accounting transactions until they are applied.  The Client-Matter Accounts Receivable Ledger differs in that as soon as an Invoice is generated there is an Invoice record (not an AR record) created and reflected by this report.  Likewise, as soon as an accounting transaction is entered, it is reflected by this report.
