Creating Miscellaneous Invoices

 
     

If you need to generate an invoice that isn’t directly related to an appraisal job, you can create a miscellaneous invoice through WinTOTAL’s desktop billing tool. To do so…

  1. In WinTOTAL’s invoice manager, click New Invoice in the toolbar to create a new standalone invoice.
  2. The WinTOTAL Invoice Editor opens, already populated with information about your order. Choose your invoice type by selecting an invoice from the Choose Invoice menu in the Options pane on the left.

  3. Change any items for your invoice by typing the new information in the appropriate text box.  As an alternative, you can use QuickLists to pre-fill recurring information into your invoice to save time. Keep in mind that some fields – particularly contact fields – cannot be edited directly, but require that you select the desired contact from the provided drop-down list.  The fields you must select from drop-down menus are indicated in the diagram below.

  4. Choose your lender, client, and bill to contacts using the drop down lists provided if they aren’t already pre-populated.
  5. Enter a due date into the provided field.
  6. As necessary, click the dollar sign icon beside each new line item in the Fees list and then, choose a product from the list to populate the invoice with the appropriate fee (as defined in your client fees list) for that product. 
  7. Add any miscellaneous charges for additional services beyond the report, like a mileage fee, by typing them into an available line item in the invoice.
  8. Add any necessary payment information in an available Payment fields below the fees list. Use the calendar icon to quickly select the date for the payment.
  9. If there are any appraiser fee splits you need to take into account, choose the appraiser with whom the split will occur from the available appraiser list.  If you’ve configured a fee split for that appraiser, the split amount and percentage populate automatically.  If you need to alter this fee split on a case by case basis, just type the new dollar value or percentage split into the appropriate fields to override the default splits.  Then, mark a date paid using the calendar icon to choose a date.
  10. If necessary, print a copy of the invoice by clicking Print Invoice in the Options pane on the left.
  11. When you’re finished updating your invoice, click Save to save your changes.
