Freight bill details contain information related to an individual freight bill item and voucher. This information includes reference numbers, audit and voucher match settings, actual amount, approved amount, voucher amount, calculated variances (amount and percentage), and freight bill detail’s matching failure reason.
When you create a freight bill, a matching process is automatically triggered for each freight bill detail. If a matching voucher is found for a freight bill detail, the approved amount or actual amount is compared with the voucher amount.
Actual amount is the charge levied by the carrier. Approved amount is the charge approved for payment to the carrier. Voucher amount is the sum of the charges calculated by the rating process and any adjustments that are applied after the voucher was created.
If the approved amount is not provided, the actual amount is compared with the voucher amount.
If the approved amount is provided, it is compared with the voucher amount. This comparison results in one of the following conditions:
Approved amount matches the A/P voucher amount.
Approved amount does not match the A/P voucher amount but is within the tolerance amounts of the carrier, carrier/customer, tariff/service, or tariff/service/charge.
Approved amount does not match the A/P voucher amount and is outside the tolerance amounts of the carrier, carrier/customer, tariff/service, or tariff/service/charge.
If the approved amount is not provided, the actual amount is compared with the voucher amount. If the amounts are within the tolerance range, the actual amount will become the approved amount.
Note: The difference in the freight bill detail and A/P voucher is reconciled before the voucher is processed by an A/P transaction run. Only after this reconciliation, the financial charges are passed through the accounting interface to support payment to the carrier.
By default, the list of freight bill details is sorted in descending order by the Freight Bill Detail ID field.
