Rate Audit Specialist – Freight Bill Audit Pay AP & AR
XPO Logistics
06.2018 - 12.2020
Audit of Invoice with contract which is signed by carrier.
The carrier bills us with Freight charges, Fuel charges & Accessorial service (Liftgate, residential delivery etc.) used at the time of Pickup/delivery.
My role is to check the carrier’s contract first whether the accessorial charged is contracted with XPO.
If the charge is contracted then I must verify the documents (INVOICE, BOL, DR) whether the service was used and pay or reject accordingly as per the contracted amount.
Suppose the accessorial charge billed is not contracted then I must obtain further documents from the carrier or operation team in order to verify the charge.
When the carrier sends the freight bill without accessorial charges, it mostly gets auto-approved for payment.
