Charges and exception review

Decide supported freight charges and preserve the outcome when transport scope changes.

Step by step

  1. Gather the source evidence Finance Reviewer

    • Establish the charge context
    • Updates Freight charges, Loads, Trailer visits, Operation receipts
  2. Review the charge Finance Reviewer

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Detention minutes are treated as a charge without reviewing the agreement.
  • Different currencies are combined into a single financial total.
  • Cancellation is assumed to undo a stop already completed.
  • An old decision is reused after the reviewed charge amount or supporting load revision changes.
