Pre-pay carrier invoice audit

A pre-pay carrier invoice audit is the job of matching the bill you were sent to the rate confirmation you agreed — then holding anything that was not authorized. Jorora runs that job on upload or email-forward packets and returns a payment decision in minutes.

Why

Why convert the packet before you pay

  • The PDF total is not the contract

    Carriers invoice what their system printed. Your pay authority is the rate con. Audit is the delta.

  • Minutes, not a managed-service cycle

    FAP outsourcing is built for shipper-scale multimodal spend. This job is a broker/3PL packet on Tuesday afternoon.

  • Exceptions need reasons

    Needs Review and Reject come with rule outcomes you can paste into a carrier dispute — not a vague “AI said no.”

  • One credit, one decision

    You are buying a completed result. Technical extraction failure does not consume the credit.

How to

How to run a pre-pay invoice audit

Four steps from messy PDFs to a defendable pay decision.

  1. Step 1

    Export or forward the documents

    Carrier invoice and rate confirmation as PDF (or image). Add POD/BOL/lumper when the charge needs proof.

  2. Step 2

    Start Freight Audit

    Upload in the app or forward to your organization intake address. Choose the audit tool, not a generic chat.

  3. Step 3

    Let rules compare the packet

    Fields extract, then versioned pay rules check rate, fuel, accessorials, evidence, and duplicates.

  4. Step 4

    Act on Approve, Review, or Reject

    Copy pay-ready fields, or generate a dispute packet before the wire.

Workflow

This is not OCR-as-a-product

Extraction is the input. The product is the decision. Jorora applies freight pay rules against the rate confirmation so AP can defend why a line was held. Use it beside your TMS and accounting tools — not instead of them.

Pains

What the job looks like without a gate

  • Paying the carrier PDF total because the queue had to move
  • Accessorials that were never on the rate con
  • No structured reason when the carrier asks why you short-paid
  • Re-keying the same fields into AP after you already read the PDF

Jobs

What the audit returns

  • Linehaul and fuel checked against the rate con
  • Unauthorized accessorials held
  • Duplicate invoice / PRO / file-hash gates
  • A next action: dispute draft or AP handoff

Evidence

Why this job ranks and converts

  • Pre-pay is when you still have leverage
  • Works from email PDFs — the actual intake path for FTL
  • Humans remain the payment authority

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It is the broker/3PL pre-pay version of that job: packet in, decision out. It is not enterprise FAP that pays carriers for you.

For FTL match, yes. The rate con is the pay authority. Invoice-only extraction without a match is not this product.

Typical desks go from upload to decision in minutes, not overnight render-style queues.

You are not charged a credit. Fix the scan or packet and retry.
