← Freight accessorial invoice auditor
Shippers search this after the carrier invoices detention, a liftgate, or a reweigh the quote never showed. AP can eat it, add a line on the customer invoice, or pay first and ask for a credit. Those are different cash.
On the default prepaid collect — $180.00 already collected, a $300.00 detention against $75.00 supported — the gap is $225.00. Eating the line keeps −$120.00. Billing the customer $300.00 keeps $180.00. A 1.5-hour review at $42/hr ($63.00 labor) that recovers the gap keeps $42.00. The same review with no credit keeps −$183.00.
The $225.00 gap buys 5.36 hours of review at that rate. A $50 gap against ten hours at $125/hr ($1,250.00) finishes $1,200.00 behind eating. Type the confirmation amount, not a portal default.

Complementary to the multi-line accessorial auditor, the detention clock, and fuel percent versus linehaul (is the bill right?). This page is who holds the cash after you pay the carrier. It does not invoice anyone or file a claim.
On a prepaid collect shipment that already paid $180, a $300 detention against $75 supported leaves a $225.00 gap. Eating the line keeps −$120.00. Billing the customer $300.00 keeps $180.00. Paying first and getting that $225.00 credit after 1.5 hours at $42/hr ($63.00 labor) keeps $42.00. The same review with no credit keeps −$183.00. That is cash on these inputs, not a reason to invoice a customer or to file a claim.
When the gap is crumbs and the review is expensive. An $80 line against $30 supported is a $50 gap. Ten hours at $125/hr is $1,250.00 of labor. Eating that line on $80 already collected keeps $0.00. A credit still finishes $1,200.00 behind eating.
