Group every customer-facing support item.
POD, BOL, rate confirmation, detention, accessorial approval, lumper receipt, claim note, and customer reference stay together.
Customer Billing / Billing Packet Control
Confirm the proof before the invoice leaves the office.
A billing packet should explain the work, the rate, the proof of delivery, the extra charges, the customer reference, and any hold or dispute.
Make the hold explainable.
Missing proof, open claim, customer approval gap, or rate mismatch is assigned to an owner before invoice release.
