Automated processing of unknown accessorial freight charges at time of freight charge calculation.

198 Views

We have our systems set up to create FSDs in TM and transfer to ECC for Service Entry sheet and freight PO creation for known charges at time of freight order build.

  1. Line haul
  2. Fuel Surcharge
  3. Stop off fee

These are created at time of PGI message received from EWM(business requirement). Carriers can submit their initial freight invoice, via EDI, at this time.

However there may be accessorial charges associated to a shipment such as detention, layover, unloading etc. Carriers will submit a subsequent invoice, via edi, for these charges at a later date. Current these second invoices are “parked” and a team member needs to do analysis to verify that these charges are valid. This may be done by looking in TM at carriers EDI204 updates for confirm detention, email with the load coordinators for verification of layover, etc. My finance team is trying to come up with a was to verify these accessorial charges systematically and not be so manual labor intensive.

We are looking for others that have this same type of freight invoicing processing and what they may have done to automate the entire process.
