Default Billing Method – Admin
Setting up a default billing method allows you to charge a standard rate for all bills issued by your organisation through Thread.
You can choose to set up the default billing method as:
Rate per category – default rate per category, i.e., €300 for wills.
Rate by matter owner – everything in the matter will be charged at the matter owner's rate.
Rate by author – everything in the matter will be charged at the user’s rate.
Fixed fee – no hourly rate will be applied.
When working on matters, you can also apply an individual matter and item rate that overrides the default rate as needed. Setting Up a Billing Method
