Processing Rules

Set LEDES processing and rate card rules, and create guidance for submitting LEDES invoices.

From the My Lawtrac tab, select Application Administration, click the Finance Options tab and choose Processing Rules from the panel on the right.

To set up your company’s rules for processing LEDES invoices and applying rate cards to them, use the radio buttons, text boxes and drop-down menu to make your selections. You should also include guidelines or designate workflow criteria for submitting and approving invoices in the large text box. These guidelines appear on the outside counsel LEDES upload screen. When finished, click Save.
