We are interested purely in receipt allocations (not percentages for originating staff, finders fees, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;On the Program Level, the receipt allocation method is set to Fees = Staff, and Expenses = Bill Code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;On each Matter, we have an Originating Staff and a Responsible Staff, however, we have not assigned any percentages to either staff (because we&amp;#39;re not tracking Fee Allocation, only Receipt Allocation).&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;On the AR tab for Billing Preferences, we have Payment Allocation Order set to: Expenses, Fees, Interest (Oldest Invoice first).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;The question we need to be able to answer is: &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal;"&gt;How are partial payments allocated among the staff who have billed on a matter?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Is it a percentage of the total amount billed by each staff member? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;Any insight into this function would be greatly appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
