Settlements / Single Record Accountability

Settlement release should not require rebuilding the load story.

BOF keeps settlement, proof, billing, driver pay basis, packet status, and owner action tied to the same load record so finance and operations work from one answer.

Proof

Packet state

POD, BOL, receipt, accessorial support, receiver note, and photo evidence.

Pay

Driver basis

Employee, contractor, owner-operator, mileage, percentage, hourly, fixed, or mixed-rate calculation.

Billing

Invoice readiness

Customer reference, claim or dispute flag, factoring context, release owner, and due date.

Owner

Clearance action

Named owner, hold reason, required document, and what changes when the record clears.

Settlement record route

  1. Capture: connect load, driver, packet, pay profile, proof, and billing requirement.
  2. Classify: mark ready, review, held, or blocked with a reason.
  3. Resolve: assign the missing proof, pay question, or billing issue to an owner.
  4. Release: preserve the final packet state and downstream cash effect.
