GL Automation

Freight is one of the last large spend categories still coded by hand. Invoices covering hundreds of shipments get split across cost centers on estimates, accruals drift from actuals, and the close depends on whoever knows the spreadsheet.

Orca codes freight at the shipment level from audited data, allocates cost by rule, and exports accounting-ready entries with the documentation behind them.

Coding rules that match how the business runs

  • GL account and cost center by shipment, lane, carrier, mode, location, customer, or product
  • Allocation of multi-shipment invoices and accessorials to the right owners
  • Business-unit, project, and intercompany attribution
  • Handling of credits, disputes, and short-pays in the accounting record

Month-end without the scramble

Because invoices are audited and coded as they arrive, accruals are built from shipped-not-invoiced activity and real carrier rates rather than historical averages. The close reconciles to invoice detail, and auditors can trace any freight entry back to the shipment and the carrier charge.

Integration with finance systems

Orca exports journal entries, accrual files, and remittance detail to ERP and AP systems in the formats they expect, and keeps the supporting documents attached in Orca for audit and inquiry.
