LEDES Invoice Resubmission

  1. Go through the regular process of uploading an invoice. 
    • If you run into any errors, for example, 'the uploaded file has previously been uploaded,' you may need to slightly edit the end of the file name. View the guidance on preparing your revised draft above.
      • E.g. original invoice file name: 12345.txt; revised draft file name: 12345A.txt
    • Duplicate invoices will not be accepted unless the invoice is a revised draft.
  2. After you have uploaded the invoice, click the red link button, where you'll be prompted to select the invoice number of the original draft.Screen_Shot_2021-07-07_at_12.54.53_PM.png
  3. Use the drop-down to pick the original invoice number and 'Set Invoice Detail' to save your selection. Screenshot_2022-12-08_at_10.54.19.png
  4. If an invoice is submitted as a new draft and not linked to the old draft, the invoice will be subject to rejection.
  5. Once this is complete, you can confirm and fully submit the invoice.
