Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I get started with Billing?

Getting started with ADR Notable Billing is simple and straightforward. There are 4 steps:

  1. In “Manage Firm” under the gear icon, scroll down to your billing settings. Here you can set up billing terms like net 30 days, draft the text of the cover email to which the invoice will be attached, and add text that will appear on the invoices to tell your clients how to pay.
  2. In the new Professionals Database in the left side navigation, you can set up to 5 different billing rates for each service provider and set a tax rate if needed.
  3. (Optional) If you want to use Stripe to process receipt of credit card payments, you can set that up as well. Stripe is integrated into ADR Notable, and those payments will be automatically recorded in the billing module. Other payments will have to be manually applied.

Can I adjust a party's billing account?

You can view and manage a party’s billing account in the Case Billing section. Clicking on a party in the Accounts menu will display more detailed information and allow you to make any necessary adjustments to the account.

What if the charges aren't shared evenly by the parties?

After setting up the allocation for each billable item in a Case, each can be completely customized as to whether it is billed hourly, at a full-day or half-day fixed rate or is pro bono. The percentage allocation among the Parties can be set independently for each billable.

What if the primary representative of a party isn't responsible for paying?

In the case setup, add a participant affiliated with the main party. In the drop-down menu under “Responsible for Billing,” select the new affiliate to assign them the responsibility of paying the bills.
