Step 2: Set Your Calculation Method

There are two invoice calculation methods to choose from:

1. Per-Gigabyte

  • Allocate your total monthly subscription cost proportionally based on the active data per project.

  • To use:

    • Click Edit at the top.

    • Select Per Gigabyte.

    • Enter your monthly Nextpoint cost (e.g., $6,500).

    • Click Save — amounts will auto-calculate for each billable project.

2. Custom

  • Manually assign specific pass-through amounts per project (e.g., a one-time $1,500 fee).

  • To use:

    • Switch to Custom in the calculation settings.

    • Click Save.

    • Enter custom amounts per project directly in the table.

Step 3: Mark Projects as Billable
  1. Under Projects in the Client Invoices tab, locate a project you would like to bill.

  2. Set it to Billable to include it in the calculation:

  3. Select Add a Client and enter in the client details (name, email, address):

Note: Non-billable projects are excluded from the total calculation and invoice generation.

Step 4: Generate and Customize PDF Invoices

Once your client is added, the Generate Invoice button becomes active:

The Generate Invoice screen will allow you to:

  1. Set an Issue Date and Due Date
  2. Select the calculation method and set the amount (if not already selected)
  3. Add an invoice item description (e.g., "Nextpoint Software Fee")
  4. Click Generate Invoice

Your generated invoice will download as a PDF with:

  • Your firm’s details

  • Client name

  • Project & matter info

  • Amount due & due date

Step 5: Export Invoice Data as a CSV

If you need to download a CSV of invoice data for multiple projects or all projects across your organization, select those projects and then click Download as CSV at the bottom:

The CSV includes:

  • Client & Project Info

  • Pass-through Amounts

  • Client Contact Details

Step 6: Manage Client Information 


To edit client billing details:

  1. Navigate to the Manage Clients tab.
  2. Click Edit on any client profile.

  3. Update the name, address, or email.

  4. Click Save.


You're Done!

In summary, the Subscription Pass-Through Invoice Generator helps you:

  • Recover eDiscovery expenses from clients
