Close Deliverable Order and Submit Final Claim

Who:    Provider Operations
Why:    All associated Deliverable Orders must be are closed before the Engagement Order can be      closed and a final Payment Claim submitted.
   

Overview

This user guide covers the following procedures:

  • Mark a Deliverable Order as complete;
  • Submit a zero dollar Claim.

The purpose of the Deliverable Order is to request a document or item of work the Provider is required to deliver to the Client as part of an Engagement.

There are four steps to closing out the Deliverable Order: 

1. If applicable, upload the required document to the Deliverable Order.  

2. Mark the Order as complete (described in this user guide).  

3. Submit a $0.00 Payment Claim (described in this user guide)

NOTE: The claim is a formality only to close out the Deliverable Order. Deliverable Orders are fixed at $0.00. All claims associated with producing the Deliverable should be made by means of a Payment Claim against the Engagement Order.


4. The Client must approve or reject the uploaded Deliverable document.

  • NOTE: An attempt to submit a final claim on the Engagement Order before all associated Deliverable Documents are approved will cause the following message to appear (N1) 

  • If this occurs, contact the relevant Client Matter Manager and provide a list of all the Deliverable Order numbers associated with the Matter so the Client can find the associated documents within LPG and approve them.

To mark a Deliverable Order as complete:

 

1. Find and open the Matter with which the Deliverable Order is associated. 
The Matter screen appears.
  • N1 – The Deliverable Order will need to have the status WORK IN PROGRESS – OPEN for it to be marked complete.

The Order In Progress screen appears.

  • IMPORTANT: Marking the Order as Complete is only the first step to close the Deliverable Order. A $0.00 Claim must now be submitted. Although you can click the Back to Worklist button, it is strongly recommended to continue and submit the Claim immediately as described in the following steps.
