Introduction

This user manual will guide System Administrator users through generating the below invoicing reports from Intelligent Shipper.
Un Invoiced Shipment Report: The report shows all the shipments that have not been already invoiced and Shipments that are not cancelled so that the customers can be invoiced for the shipments that have been created and not invoiced.
Zero Priced Shipment Report: This report will show shipments that are automatically priced and are 0 priced due to having no rate card.
Re Price Shipments: This is the process to reprice the shipments that had pricing errors and have not been invoiced, manually priced or cancelled.
Invoice Data Extract: The Invoice data extract file will include customer pricing for shipments that have been system closed out (export state 60) and not included in a previous billing extract.
These reports are accessible to System Administrator user roles and will use the rate cards set up in the customer rate card and agent rate card screens.

Invoice Data Extract

This process is to extract billing data for shipments that have been closed out and have not been extracted for billing before. This is configurable, and once configured runs automatically on a daily basis; the Invoice Data Extract is not generated from the GUI. The data extract is exported in CSV format to an SFTP location that will be provided by Intersoft.
The invoice data extract contains the total customer charge of the shipments included in the report. Once a shipment has been included in the invoice extract the pricing cannot be edited, but pricing service enhancements can be added. Any pricing service enhancements added to a shipment after it has already been invoiced will be included in the next invoice data extract.
