I. Carrier Bill Audit: Comparing your Expected Costs to your Carrier Bills and generating Payables :
1. Go to theSettle > Bills > Expected Costs -
- Search by your Shipment ID (BOL-12345-XX) to locate the Expected Cost record.
2. Click on the Cost Name (e.g., TX-12345-26) to view details, then click the ‘Create Bill’ button
-
- If your G2Mint instance uses Commissions or Insurance, make sure the record 'Freight Type' column is equal to 'Freight' to avoid selecting a commission or insurance payable records.
3. Enter your carrier Bill details (Linehaul, FSC, Accessorial etc..) and click save. This will match the the cost record to the Bill.
4. If the carrier bill does not match your Expected Costs, the bill status will update to Audit Review status. Prior to clicking approve, check one of the Additional Settings options to determine how you want to pass on the additional costs to the Expected Charge (the invoice you generate for your customer) 
5. After selecting the best option for Additional Settings, click the Approve button to finalize the amount you wish to pay the carrier. Your Expected Charge will update based on the option chosen above.
