Invoice Approval Route Enhancements LCP vs. Level 1 Reviewer (for Inc. Tasks and for Bypassing of Thresholds) Level 1 Approver: LEDES invoice contains audits such as new timekeeper, timekeeper rate change or an expense guideline violation Invoice contains a budget audit flag Lead Company Person: Matter profile is incomplete Invoice contains incomplete accounting codes and route does not include ACR The office vendor numbers are missing and route does not include an ACR (if the office vendor numbers are required by client’s AP department) An Outside Counsel Evaluation must be completed during the invoice approval
