In order to make a fee adjustment to a LEDES (or Task Based Billing file), the steps must be taken as below:
Create a new time slip on the matter.
Enter "WriteUD" in the Codes field. This step is important, otherwise the write up or down will not work
Enter a description for the adjustment.
Enter "1" in the Hours field.
Enter a negative amount in the Rate field to reduce the total fees (positive amount to increase fees):
These adjustments flow through to Timekeeper reports, so it is important to use the correct Timekeeper in "Billed by". A "Firm" timekeeper may be used in order to not impact a single timekeeper.
As long as "WriteUD" is entered in the Codes field, the adjustment slip is created in the LEDES file with the appropriate fields filled out.
