Assigning Fixed Fee Time to a Specific Fixed Fee

If a matter includes one or more fixed fees, you may see an option to select a Fixed Fee on the time entry.

What it means

Selecting a Fixed Fee links that time entry to a specific fixed fee on the matter.

Why it matters

Associating time to the correct fixed fee helps LeanLaw report on:

• Profitability by fixed fee

• Effort by deliverable or phase

• Accuracy of pricing for each fixed-fee component

How to assign time to a fixed fee

1. Create (or edit) a time entry
2. Set Billing Type to Fixed Fee
3. In the Fixed Fee dropdown, select the appropriate fixed fee
4. Save

If the Fixed Fee dropdown is empty

That usually means the matter does not have any fixed fees yet.

You can still:

• Save the entry as Fixed Fee time

• Associate it later once the fixed fee exists
