You can import your firms CDS6 bills into Finance Director by using the CDS6 billing module found in FD, in Client Postings and CDS6 Billing.
In the CDS6 import screen, you must complete the boxes at the top of the screen as below:
Billing Date - Enter the date you want for the bills.
Billing Ref - Enter a bill reference of your choice. All bills in this import will have the same reference.
Profit cost nominal - Choose the nominal where you want the profit costs recorded.
Transfer money for bills (OTO) - Enable this for automatic transfer and receipting of bills.
Matter Ref - When you click search only your funds control accounts will appear here.
Transfer Ref - Enter the reference you want to use for the transfer of funds from this account to your CDS6 bills.
Bills are raised per line of the posted CDS6:
All the DUU’s from the CDS6 now become DUB’s on the individual ledgers.
DUB’s are Disbursement unpaid (because we have not paid it) and billed by us because we have now billed it.
DUB’s do not move the ledger why not? because they are unpaid so if you have not paid them they are not owed to you on office (that is SAR) – when you pay them they become DPB’s paid and billed, so yes, then they move the ledger – remember once the disbursements have been billed the ledgers on office may go –ve and they are allowed to be–ve for 14 days so you get 14 days to pay them off.
