Managed Freight Invoice Processing Services. Let’s face it, in the best of times, Logistics is always a challenge, and with fuel prices low, you might think the cost of shipping would also be down. WRONG. Well, then, what’s going on? Even before the Covid 19 pandemic tore up “normal” logistics procedures, prices were creeping up. Overnight delivery of the smallest envelope has doubled in the last four years. And like many costs, once up, they never come back down. You may not be using overnight services, but factor in the rise of the expenses because of complications from Covid 19, and generally ALL shipping costs are up.
So how do you maximize the Logistics Invoice Processing budget you have to work with when the charges are skyrocketing?
Part of the answer is to speed up the intervals between shipping and invoicing and payment. Not so easy when you consider the complexity of the task. Invoice Processing includes:
- Delivery of invoices
- Verification of receipts
- Comparison to purchase authorization
- Payment
- Freight Invoice consolidation
- Invoice details verification
- Invoice submission
- Invoice remittance
According to the Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Title
49 CFR, each freight bill must contain:
- Names of consignor and consignee
- Date of shipment.
- Origin and destination points
- Number of packages.
- Description of freight.
- Weight, volume, or measurement of freight
- Exact rate(s) assessed.
- Total charges due, including the nature and amount of any costs for unique service and the points at which such service was rendered.
- Route of movement and name of each carrier participating in the transportation.
Transfer point(s) through which shipment moved.
Address where remittance must be made or address of bill issuer’s principal place of business.
With the amount of information that must be accurately filled in, it’s easy to see why it’s so crucial for it to be done correctly the first time!
