Consolidated LEDES Files

Multi-invoice consolidated LEDES E-Billing files can now be generated from the Pre-Bills view. This allows Centerbase users the ability to generate LEDES E-Billing files for multiple invoices at once, and consolidate those results into a single file.

To configure the default behavior of multi-Invoice LEDES file generation, navigate in the System Settings to Electronic Billing -> General, and find “Multi-Invoice LEDES File Generation Style”

Selecting Individual Files means that an individual LEDES file for each selected invoice will be generated and put together in a .zip file (this is the original behavior). Selecting "Consolidated File" means that the LEDES information for each selected invoice will be consolidated into a single file. Selecting "Prompt" means that each time upon clicking “Download E-Billing File(s)” and selecting a template on the Pre-Bills view, a dialog will appear prompting you to choose between Individual Files and Consolidated File.

With the System Settings configured, the process of LEDES file generation is essentially the same as before. On either the Pre-Bills or Posted Bills page, simply select the desired invoices, click “Download E-billing File(s)”, and select a template.

Note that if your System Settings are configured to use the “Prompt” Multi-Invoice LEDES File Generation Style, you will be presented with a dialog prompting you to select a style to use.

If any errors are encountered in the generation of a consolidated LEDES file, two files will be generated:

• the consolidated LEDES file containing the data for each invoice that did not encounter an error,
• and a text file detailing the errors encountered.

These two files will be put together in a .zip file for download.
