Fees by assignment is a read-only report of what you billed, grouped by assignment and by client. Open Fees by assignment. It is switched on per workspace; where it is off, the page is not available. It never changes your books.
What does it show?
- From and To dates. It starts at the beginning of the current financial year and ends today; change either date to look at another range.
- Total billed across the invoice lines in that range.
- By assignment and By client, each listing the number of lines and the amount billed.
What is Collections by client?
Above the two tables, Collections by client shows, for each client, what you billed on issued invoices, what has been settled against them, how much of that the client withheld as TDS, and what is still outstanding. Drafts, cancelled documents, estimates and delivery challans are not counted as billed, and a credit note reduces billed. A receipt settles the invoice by its full amount, TDS included, so TDS you recorded on the receipt shows as withheld, not as unpaid. Receipts that belong to invoices outside the dates are counted in a note and left out. It only reads your books; chasing a client stays on the bulk reminders screen.
What about lines with no assignment, or a failed read?
Lines with no assignment recorded are counted in a note, never hidden. If only the first rows could be read, the page says so; narrow the range for a full total. An empty range and an unreadable one look different on purpose: with no invoices it says so, and if the read fails it shows the reason instead of an empty list.
