Made a mistake on an invoice? No problem. TimeNet Law gives you three fast ways to reissue an invoice while preserving the original for your records.
Billing errors happen. A wrong rate, a missing entry, a typo in the description. The important thing is fixing it fast and sending a corrected version to your client. TimeNet Law makes reissuing invoices painless with three different methods, so you can use whichever fits your workflow.
When you reissue an invoice, the original is preserved in your records. The reissued version gets the same invoice number with a revision suffix, so both you and your client can track the correction clearly.
This is the most common approach when you are already working inside a matter.
Navigate to the matter that contains the invoice you need to correct.
Click the Invoices tab within the matter window to see all invoices for this matter.
Find the invoice you need to reissue. Right-click it to open the context menu, or double-click to open it directly. Select Reissue from the menu.
The invoice opens in edit mode with all the original data. Make your changes, then save and send.

Use this when you are reviewing invoices across multiple matters, or when you spot an error in the Billing Center's invoice list.
Go to the Billing Center window and navigate to the Invoices panel.
Use the search, filters, or scroll to locate the invoice. You can search by invoice number, client name, or matter name.
Right-click the invoice row and choose Reissue Invoice from the context menu.

The fastest method if you know the invoice number. No clicking, no navigating. Just type.
Activate the Launchbar from anywhere in the app.
Type Reissue invoice followed by the invoice number.
TimeNet Law finds the invoice, opens it for editing, and you are ready to make corrections.
The Launchbar method is the fastest when a client calls and says "there's an issue with invoice DMI-2219." Just type the command and you are there in seconds.
When you reissue an invoice, TimeNet Law handles the numbering automatically:
This makes it crystal clear to both your firm and your client which version is current. The original invoice is never deleted or overwritten. It stays in your records for audit purposes and compliance.

When reissuing, you have full editing capability:
If the correction is minor (like a typo in a description), reissuing is quick and painless. For significant changes that affect the total, always communicate with your client about why the invoice was reissued. A brief note goes a long way toward maintaining trust.
Reissuing invoices in TimeNet Law is designed to be fast and transparent. Pick the method that suits the moment, make your corrections, and send the updated version. Your records stay clean, your client gets the right invoice, and everyone moves on.
