LEDES Error: BF119 - Purchase Order or Tax Reporting Requirements Error

Overview of the Issue

The error message:
BF119 "Only LEDES 98BI format is accepted for purchase orders or tax reporting. Please upload your file in the correct format to meet the requirements."

This means that your submission format does not meet the specified requirement of LEDES 98BI.

Possible Causes:

• Incorrect file format (non-LEDES 98BI) uploaded.
• Configuration settings for purchase orders or tax reporting not properly set.

Troubleshooting the Issue

Step 1: Verify File Format

Ensure that the file you are uploading is in the correct LEDES 98BI format.

• Tip: Double-check your file’s extension before uploading. Only .txt files in the 98BI format are accepted. The older 98B format doesn’t contain the needed tax or PO fields.

How to Fix

Step 1: Change the LEDES File Type to 98BI

• Open your file and ensure it follows the LEDES 98BI format specifications.
• Convert the file to the 98BI format if necessary.
