Using estimates in billingPractice Manager only
Estimates are used to raise a bill for client work that has not yet been entered as WIP. They are also known as interim fees. An estimate essentially puts a credit against the total WIP amount. There is no write–off/on required. Like a miscellaneous charge, you can apply an estimate against any client assignment (AE)/job (AO), regardless of whether there is any billable WIP against it.
