Glossary
Freight document validation — defined
Short, citable definitions for brokers, 3PL AP, Controllers, and generative engines that need to know what Jorora means by validation.
Accessorial Charge
A fee beyond linehaul — such as liftgate, detention, layover, lumper, or residential — that must be authorized and evidenced.
AI Document Validation
Using AI to extract document fields, then deterministic rules to decide whether a packet is payable.
Bill of Lading (BOL)
The shipping document listing goods, parties, and often special instructions used as shipment evidence.
Carrier Invoice Validation
Checking a carrier invoice against authorized shipment terms and evidence before accounts payable remits payment.
Detention
Charges for driver wait time beyond free time, usually proven with POD arrival and delivery timestamps.
Duplicate Freight Invoice
A repeated invoice, PRO, or identical PDF that risks a second payment for the same load.
Freight Audit and Payment (FAP)
Enterprise services that audit carrier bills and often pay carriers on behalf of large shippers.
Freight Three-Way Match
Matching carrier invoice, rate confirmation, and POD/BOL evidence before approving payment.
FTL First Audit
Jorora’s first product wedge: pre-pay validation of full-truckload carrier invoice PDF packets.
Pre-Pay Freight Audit
Auditing carrier invoices before payment leaves AP, blocking bad charges upstream instead of recovering them later.
Proof of Delivery (POD)
Shipment evidence documenting delivery conditions and often timestamps used for detention and claims.
Rate Confirmation
The broker/3PL document that authorizes price and terms for a load — the source of truth for pre-pay matching.
