LEDES Error: BF124 - Law firm user does not have access to matter referenced in the LEDES invoice.

The error message:
BF124 - "Law firm user does not have access to matter referenced in the LEDES invoice."

This error occurs when a law firm user attempts to upload a LEDES invoice that references a matter they do not have access to. The system restricts uploads to ensure only authorized users can process invoices for specific matters.

Possible Causes

• The law firm user has not been granted access to the matter referenced in the invoice.
• The matter reference (matterRef) is incorrect or does not exist in the system.

Troubleshooting the Issue

Step 1: Verify User Access

• Check if the law firm user has been granted the necessary permissions for the referenced matter.
• Confirm the user’s role and access level within the organization.

Tip: Consult with the client admin to verify user access and permissions.

How to Fix

Step 1: Request Access to the Matter

1. If the user does not have access, submit a request to the client admin to grant the necessary permissions for the referenced matter.

Step 2: Re-upload the Invoice

• Once access has been granted, the law firm user can attempt to upload the LEDES invoice again, ensuring that the correct matterRef is used.

LEDES Errors
