Please note that Brevity will now submit all hours within the Quantity column within the claim file instead of the Hours column to reduce the rounding differences. Brevity stores hours in decimal format so it can be multiplied by an hourly rate to calculate a charge. Rounding occurs when Brevity converts the decimal numbers to hours, and NDIS converts these back to decimal numbers to do the same multiplication to calculate the amount to pay. Difference occurred due to how Brevity and NDIS manage the rounding, mainly for part hours .

When generating claims or invoices, Brevity will only include completed shifts and shifts where the funding source on the Service is the same as that selected when generating the claim.

The following sections describe how you would generate claims for completed shifts. The process for generating invoices for CASH services in the same as outlined below except this is done via Clients > Invoice Batches.
