Freight Contract, Surcharge & Shipping Invoice Verification Tool

Freight Contract, Surcharge & Shipping Invoice Verification Tool

Rebuild a shipping invoice from the agreed freight contract, identify surcharge and rate variances, reconcile billed quantities and document disputes. Separate substantiated financial discrepancies from unverified contract terms and supporting evidence.

Contract vs invoiceBAF / CAF / THC / PSS / documentationMultiple equipment typesManual FX translationDispute support
Fast invoice audit: 11 inputsAll charges are in USD, and the first four pairs are per container. Compare like-for-like charges for the same booking and shipment. Contract credits and invoice credits are shipment totals.
Advanced rate and evidence reconciliationUse distinct equipment groups, contract surcharge lines, invoice lines, manual FX conversion and documentary checks. Charge rules and legal deadlines remain contract- and jurisdiction-specific.
Review boundary: Rates and currencies are user-entered. An unmatched charge is an investigation item, not proof it is invalid. Incoterms alone do not establish the payer under every arrangement. Recoverability, dispute rights and invoice obligations depend on the governing contract, applicable tariffs and law. No live carrier tariff or foreign-exchange feed is connected.

Equipment & Base Ocean Freight

Manual FX Conversion Register

One unit of the indicated currency converts to the entered number of USD. These are fictional starting rates, not today's FX quotes. Confirm the invoice/contract FX basis and settlement date.

Dispute Evidence & Verification Register

Evidence is used to prioritize the audit. Missing or disputed records are not automatically converted into an enforceable invoice deduction.
