Carrier Invoice Variance
Carriers → Carrier Invoice Variance lists every invoiced brokered load where the carrier's invoice diverges from the agreed buy rate beyond your tolerance — biggest variance first. Run it before every payment run.
Setting the tolerance
The Flag tolerance selector controls how big a mismatch must be before a load appears: Default (5%), 0% — any mismatch, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, or 15%.
Reading the table
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Load / Carrier / Status | The brokered load, who ran it, and where it stands |
| Agreed cost | The buy rate agreed when the load was brokered |
| Invoiced | What the carrier actually billed |
| Variance / Variance % | The difference, signed — red when the carrier over-billed |
Under-billing (negative variance) is shown plain — favourable, but still worth understanding. The footer totals the book and counts how many loads are over-billed.
What to look for
- Every red line is money you should query before paying — the total variance in the footer is the amount at stake.
- A carrier that over-bills repeatedly belongs in a rate conversation; their overall standing is on the Carrier Scorecard.
- A 100% variance against a zero agreed cost means a load was invoiced with no agreed rate captured — fix the load record.
