Billing Authorization Request (BAR) Statuses

by Michael Nadeau Updated on

Within the Billing Authorizations section in BillingPoint, you'll see several different Statuses for the authorizations in progress. Here's a guide to all of them.

NOTE: To see the Billing Authorization Requests, click on Billing Authorizations in the top menu when logged in to the standard client view

Status Glossary

APPROVED: The Billing Authorization Request (BAR) has been approved by the client and is assigned to their account, and is ready to accept invoice submissions.

CLOSED: Indicates that a previously approved BAR where the matter and project are closed on the clients and and is no longer accepting invoices.

PENDING and PENDING APPROVAL: These statuses typically appear only on matters that require data submission to the client for review. Pending means that the vendor still needs to submit timekeepers, budget, etc.; Pending Approval means that the BAR is awaiting client approval after the data has been submitted.

DISPUTED: This occurs when a BAR, pending approval, is rejected by the client and sent back to the vendor for corrections.

NOTE: An UPDATING status is typically a temporary state as the BAR is processing; if it persists for more than an hour, it may be a system issue. Contact your admin or Onit support for assistance.
