QUESTION: The DDI report is missing the invoice number? The DDI report does not look the same for the matter and the same entries? Why does the DDI report is adding an invoice number?
RESPONSE: The DDI report for the same matter and period will vary in content depending on where the selected entries are in context of their life cycle. When the DDI is executed for work-in-progress not yet associated to an invoice (the WIP management phase), it will show original worked values. At the time an invoice property is created, the invoice number is assigned, therefore if the DDI report is generated for entries included in an invoice which is not yet posted (the invoice preparation phase), it will include the invoice number as a reference as well as show fee override values if any. When the DDI is generated for entries included in an invoice which is posted (the collection phase) it will also show the invoice number as a reference, and the original worked values as a comparative to fees billed (invoice content).
