Brightflag’s PDF Check Tool ensures invoice accuracy by validating key details in PDF attachments to LEDES invoices. This flag can also be enabled for PDF submissions.
📌What Does the PDF Check Tool Validate?
The tool automatically verifies critical invoice details on the PDF, including:
✔ Invoice Number
✔ PO Number
✔ Entity
✔ Matter Reference
✔ Gross Total
✔ Net Fees Total
🛠 How Does It Work?
🔹 Text Scanning – The system scans PDFs uploaded with LEDES invoices, capturing key details.
🔹 Data Matching – Extracted invoice data is compared to the information on the invoice PDF to ensure accuracy.
✅ Why Use LEDES Instead of PDFs?
While PDF invoices are supported, LEDES submissions are recommended because they:
✔ Provide a structured format, reducing errors and validation failures.
✔ Ensure consistency in matter references and financial data.
✔ Reduce manual intervention needed for invoice corrections.
🛠 Entity & Matter Reference Validation
🔹 Entity Validation
✔ Keep your entity list accurate and up to date to avoid validation errors.
✔ If GL codes impact entity mapping, ensure consistency in your system.
✔ Contact your Customer Success Manager for assistance in improving entity data quality.
🔹 Matter Reference Validation
✔ LEDES invoices align with client-facing matter references, ensuring clarity for law firms.
✔ Avoid confusion by ensuring matter references are consistently applied.
