Person and Matter Language Use

Summary

Acumin’s language structure leverages the language of the person and the language of the matter for various outcomes.

Client Language. The language of the client (a person) is used to set the default language for its matters. It is also used to set the language of the statement of account (SOA) when the client is the statement of account (SOA) contact.
Matter Language. The matter’s language is set for users to record time and disbursement narrative content in the language requested by the client for its eventual presentation on the invoice.
Invoice Language. The invoice is created in the language of the matter to match the expected content (matter re: line, time and disbursement narratives etc.) to also be in the same language. The matter’s language takes precedence over the language of the person selected as the billing contact.
Statement of account language. The statement of account (SOA) is created in the language of the person set as its recipient (the SOA contact). The statement of account contact’s language takes precedence over the language of the matter to reflect the different use cases of each document.
Vendor Payee Language. The vendor’s or Payee’s language – both being persons - drives the language of the cheque.
