Invoice processing time depends on the format submitted.

LEDES Invoices

LEDES invoices are structured data files.

They are typically available for review shortly after submission.

PDF Invoices

PDF invoices typically take 24–48 business hours to complete processing before they are available for review.

Why Does Processing Take 24–48 Hours?

PDF invoices must go through an automated analysis phase before they can enter the approval workflow.

During this time, Brightflag:

• Extracts invoice data from the document

• Verifies required fields

• Validates calculations

• Applies your organization’s billing rules

• Identifies potential flags or adjustments

This ensures the invoice is accurate and compliant before reviewers see it.

Can Processing Be Expedited?

To avoid delays, vendors should submit invoices well in advance of internal approval deadlines.

If you would like faster processing overall, consider using LEDES format instead of PDF. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.

Invoice processing cannot be manually expedited.
