Invoices received electronically in a LEDES 1998B, 1998BI/1998BI V2, or 2000 file format can be imported easily into eCounsel. Invoice line items will automatically populate the appropriate field. Several methods for importing LEDES files can be configured (though these options are premium features):
§ Manual invoice import requires an activation key.
§ Electronic invoice import using e-mails requires configuration of E-mail eInvoicing.
§ Electronic invoice import using the Corridor Website requires configuration of Web eInvoicing.
§ Electronic invoice import using the eBillingHub® requires user access be configured through Corridor.
Attachments
E-mail eInvoicing and Web eInvoicing must be configured to accept attachments to LEDES files if law firms/vendors can submit attachments with invoices. The filename for attachments to invoices must conform to a specific format. The naming convention for attachments is a tilde, the invoice number, tilde, filename (for example, ~98765~SD1100.jpg). eCounsel will accept all file formats for attachments. For E-mail eInvoicing, acceptance or rejection must be managed by your e-mail server.
