Generating a Client Remittance Report

This document details the procedure to prepare the remit statement to the client in CMPOnline.

Before you begin:

• You need to be familiar with your client codes.
• You must understand how the contingency rates affect the remit calculations.
• It is assumed you have the knowledge of how legal accounting works and the terminology involved with it.

Running the Remit Reports

• Go to Accounting > Remittance
  • From the Remit screen, select the clients you wish to remit on. Click “Select All” at the bottom of the client list to remit on all clients.
  • Remittance Options:
    • File Number: Enter the file number in the File Number field box if you are remitting on one file only.
    • Forecast Report as of: Enter a date to forecast a remit report for that date.  This will allow a forecast based on the number of days the system holds checks for.
    • Do NOT create Checks/Bills during Remit?: If running a final remit with this checked, a remit date will be placed on all payments an no check/bills will be created.
    • Remit All Payments Thru: This will override the system holds for checks and other payment types.
    • Final Remit?: DO NOT select this box until you have previewed the reports and verified all payments are ready to remit on.
  • Once you have made your selections, click “Run Remit”, and click “OK”.
    If the remit is large, you may exit this screen and work on
    something else, as the time per remit varies.
  • Scroll down and click “View Report”
  • A detailed report will be displayed in a new tab if there are any payments to remit. Otherwise, you will receive a “Nothing to Remit” message.
  • Once the report is verified and you are ready to post it, re-run the remit, but check the Final Remit box before you click “Run Remit”.
  • The Final Remit will add a request for the remit check, enter billing, and update transactions with remit dates, cost remitted, and fees calculated.
