Master Paragraphs are used in billing to add pre-defined text to a bill. The Master Paragraphs window is used to view and select the master paragraphs available for use when you are raising a bill for a client. The Master Paragraphs window is accessed from Bill Paragraphs window > Paragraphs.

Like bill templates, these masters are configured by your system administrator using Maintenance > Maintenance Map (AO) > Documents > Master Paragraphs. Master paragraphs are used to customise bills to suit different client and practice requirements. Most practices develop their own library of master paragraphs to suit their billing requirements.

Master paragraphs are grouped into Types which can contain a number of related paragraphs. For example, you may have a group of paragraphs under a Type heading of Tax and others that all relate to consultancy work under their own type.

Expand the types by clicking to view the paragraphs below.

You can also attach paragraphs to specific assignments (AE) / jobs (AO) so that when a bill is created for that assignment/job, all bill content can be added in one step.

Use the drag and drop method to add master paragraphs to a bill quickly and easily. You can:

• drag and drop a single master paragraph onto the page. The paragraph will be added as a new paragraph.

• make multiple selections by holding down [Ctrl] while clicking the required paragraphs. Each selected paragraph is added as a new paragraph.

• add the content of one or more master paragraphs to an existing paragraph in the draft bill text (without overwriting) by holding [Shift] while you drag them to the draft bill.
