Fais Shipment Analysis provides the capability to collect carrier billing data(pros or invoices), match it to bills of lading, audit and report on the results.

- interfaces

    Fais Shipment Analysis provides a complete clerical data entry mechanism to collect shipment invoice data, match it to stored bill of lading records, determine freight costs and identify differences. An alternative to this mechanism provides for collection of invoice data through EDI or proprietary transmission from carriers. The facilities to support this alternative are provided by the facilities of the FAIS Shipping Interface module and WISL EDIT.

    A payment process is provided that is run periodically to determine amounts due carriers. The system can produce cheques but usually a file of payment transactions is generated in the required format and sent to the user's Accounts Payable system.

- training

    Clerical users must be trained in the data entry facilities of FAIS Shipment Analysis. Training is also required to administer the payment process.

- integration issues

    The integration with the customer's accounting system must be tested.
