'Matters with Nil Balances' refers to matters where all of the following have zero balances:

• Unbilled Expense Journals

• Unbilled Anticipated Expenses

Provides a staff list to choose from. 

NOTE:

The 'Staff' list will update according to your 'Inc Inactive Staff' selection. 

Select one staff type from the following four options:

• Staff Responsible
• Staff Acting
• Staff Assisting
• Originating Attorney

NOTE: 

The 'Staff' and 'Staff Type' filters collaborate to narrow down the matters featured in the report. Users can select specific staff members from the 'Staff' list and designate a staff role using the 'Staff Type' filter. These two filters work together to limit the results exclusively to matters where the selected staff member(s) fulfill the specified role under the 'Staff Type'.

Example: If a user selects Staff A from the 'Staff' list and 'Staff Responsible' as the Staff Type, the report will only include matters where Staff A is designated as the 'Staff Responsible.' Matters where the 'Staff Responsible' is not Staff A will be excluded from the report, providing a focused view based on the specified staff members and their role within matters.

Filter results to display all or only the billing categories selected.

NOTE: For instructions on creating or assigning a billing category, please refer to this article. 

Alters the display of figures to either inclusive or exclusive of tax.

NOTE: This impacts the balance calculation for Debtors, WIP and the four types of unbilled expenses: Expense Recoveries, Expense Journals, Expenses, and Anticipated Expenses. 

• None
• Debtor
• Staff Responsible
• Staff Acting
• Originating Attorney
• Client
• Reporting Group
• Billing Category

The matter's aggregate General Trust Account balance (excluding Retained Trust Funds). 

NOTE:

• The figure is determined by adding together the matter's Trust 'Available Balance' and 'Uncleared Amount' as of the 'At Date'. 
• This field specifically reflects the aggregate matter balance of all relevant General Trust Accounts and does not encompass any Interest-Bearing Accounts. 
• The amount is expected to match the Trust Trial Balance Report when the two reports share the same 'At Date'. Therefore, when computing the amount, the field captures trust transactions based on their Entry Date rather than their Transaction Date.
