LEDES Error BF115: No Matter Selected

What This Error Means

You are submitting a LEDES invoice, but no matter was selected.

Every invoice must be linked to an active matter in Brightflag.

If you see error BF115, it means:

• No matter was selected in the submission screen, or

• The LEDES file did not contain a valid matter reference

The system cannot process an invoice unless it is connected to a matter.

How to Resolve It

Step 1: Check the Matter in the Submission Screen

When uploading your LEDES file:

1. Locate the Matter field.

2. Select the correct matter from the dropdown.

3. Confirm the matter appears before submitting.

Step 2: Check the Matter in Your LEDES File

If the matter does not auto-populate:

• Open your LEDES file.

• Confirm that the correct Matter Reference / Matter ID is included.

• Make sure it matches exactly what appears in Brightflag.

After selecting or correcting the matter, resubmit the invoice.
