Collaborati allows your vendors to upload invoicing files in file formats:

LEDES1998B file format, which was originally intended for domestic U.S. invoicing.

LEDES1998BI file format, which has all of the fields of LEDES1998B, and many more fields that are related to international taxation, client profile, and vendor profile.

LEDES2000 file format, which supports the XML format.

LEDES XML 2.0 file format.

LEDES XML 2.1 file format.

Vendors can also create and edit invoices manually in Collaborati, using the Collaborati web pages designed for that purpose. They can create invoices with information equivalent to their selected LEDES format.

These formats are described in detail in the Collaborati online help file.

CSM automatically imports information contained in the LEDES1998B format into TeamConnect. The additional fields of the LEDES1998BI format are not imported automatically by CSM. But there are configuration options and procedures, performed by both you and your vendors, that will allow you to receive and use the additional fields. Configuring Collaborati to Use Additional LEDES Fields describes those options and procedures.
