When submitting a 1998B, 1998BI/1998BI V2, or LEDES 2000 file or a manually created invoice in Corridor, further validations occur during the submission process and will return errors prior to actual submission. The following is a list of validations that occur:
The line item total does not equal units times rate.
This error occurs for any invoice for which a fee or expense line item total does not equal (rate * units) + discount amount + tax total (if the line item includes a discount and tax). Correct the line item total, rate, units, discount amount, or tax total as needed and re-submit the invoice.
The units field does not contain a value.
For fees and expenses, the units field requires a value. Enter a value, verify the line item total is correct, and re-submit the invoice.
The rate field does not contain a value.
For fees and expenses, the rate field requires a value. Enter a value, verify the line item total is correct, and re-submit the invoice.
The timekeeper identifier field does not contain a value.
For fees, the timekeeper identifier field requires a value. Enter a value, and re-submit the invoice.
The invoice total does not equal the sum of all line items.
This error occurs for any invoice for which the invoice total amount is not equal to the sum of all fees and expenses (including any tax amounts), minus any invoice-level discounts. Correct the invoice total or any fees, expenses, or invoice-level discounts and re-submit the invoice.
The line item date is not within the invoice billing start and end dates.
This error occurs if a line item date is before or after the invoice billing period. Correct the date for the line item or change the invoice billing time period and re-submit the invoice.
The invoice billing start date is after the invoice billing end date.
This error occurs if a date range is not specified correctly for the invoice billing time period. Correct the start or end date and re-submit the invoice.
After encountering a validation error when submitting an invoice(s), Corridor allows you to override the error(s) and submit the invoice(s) with the errors. Be aware that doing so can cause the invoice(s) to be rejected according to the client's billing guidelines.
