Understand expenses, invoices, receipts, approvals, and their identifiers.
Term
Meaning in Presolve
Expense
A cost incurred for a matter. It can be unpaid or paid.
Vendor invoice
A bill the firm receives. It can link to expenses already recorded.
Billing invoice
An invoice the firm issues. Check direction before entering line items.
Approval
A review of a proposed action or financial terms. Its outcome is separate from payment.
Resolution
A settlement, recurring arrangement, or back-fee record.
Inbound check/payment
A receipt of funds linked to a case and, when applicable, a resolution.
Allocation
The amount assigned from a receipt to a destination such as fees, costs, or client recovery.
Disbursement
A destination for allocated funds, with its own payment progress.
Payment reference
A check number or other reference for the payment instrument. It may repeat across accounts.
Record ID
The permanent identifier of a Presolve expense, check, or resolution.
QuickBooks transaction ID
The identifier of the linked transaction in a particular QuickBooks company.
Keep the stages separate
Review → stage for payment → record payment → verify external transaction are different steps. An approved invoice can still have an expense awaiting funding. A Paid expense can still need external sync attention. A locally Completed disbursement does not establish bank clearing.See invoice statuses for the queue meanings and QuickBooks verification for external links.
Accounts and mappings
A saved Presolve bank account identifies routing used in local records. A QuickBooks chart-of-accounts entry belongs to the connected QuickBooks company. A mapping tells Presolve which external account to use for a particular office or payment route. Renaming a firm or local account does not create a QuickBooks account.
