Users can use merge codes on invoices and document templates to automate information about your clients and cases. There are many merge code options to support your firm's communication needs, including outstanding balances, credits and custom fields.

PracticePanther offers two merge codes that are particularly helpful in communicating your client's current operating retainer credit available. This means you can clearly communicate to your client exactly how much operating credit they have available that can still be applied to outstanding invoices:
