PDF Validation Flag

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.
