Manual Invoices
Managing manual invoices for smaller and irregular transporter billing
Manual invoices allow you to record invoice information directly in Scope outside of the normal cost-controlling workflow. It is intended for storing information about smaller or irregular invoices that do not require the full processing and validation against transporter agreements.
These might include:
- Ad-hoc shipping costs
- Special service fees
- One-time surcharges
- Miscellaneous transportation costs
Manual invoices can also be used to document simplified carrier invoicing scenarios where detailed invoice files are not available, which is sometimes the case for newer or smaller transporters.
Limitations
Due to their simplified nature, manual invoices have the following limitations:
- Manual invoice rows do not include cost calculations or validation against transporter agreements. This means there is no automatic cost verification, deviation detection, or comparison with expected costs based on agreements.
- Unlike regular invoices that can be reprocessed or recalculated, manual invoices cannot be rerun.
