Reengineer your shipping GL coding processes

General Ledger Coding makes financial reporting more precise. However, many businesses struggle with the administrative strain and complexity that comes with it. Especially in the case of FedEx®, UPS® and DHL® invoices.

Shipments tendered incorrectly, with the incorrect reference fields and on the wrong account, represent 2 to 20% of all shipments. When this happens, related invoice charges must be reconciled manually, which wastes valuable time and leaves room for human error. There’s a better way.
The EPISCS General Ledger Coding service (GLC) automates the process of general ledger coding even on the messiest freight invoices. GLC handles the most complex GL coding logic like a pro.

How it works

GL Coding Rules created within the GLC section of your EPISCS account govern how shipping charges are routed into cost centers and work together to handle exceptions seamlessly. Once the GL coding rules are set, GLC matches invoice data with internal codes, validating each cost component.
Take for example GL coding logic that targets the reference field on a shipping invoice, and a one-off shipment with a missing reference field. This creates a problem. The shipment is not easily coded. The shipment must be reconciled manually or it’s routed to the incorrect cost center. With GLC, a secondary rule targeting a different attribute of the shipment routes the shipment into the correct cost center.

How secondary rules work

Think of linked rules like lower priority rules that target other attributes of a shipment to help handle the exceptions. In the case of the GL code example above, where the reference field is missing, a secondary rule targeting the ship-from-location correctly routes the charges into the appropriate cost center.

Pricing terms tailored to your business needs

EPISCS believes pricing should be simple. There are no onboarding fees or surprising charges. The Per cost component pricing model defined within the table below is a per unit pricing model. Examples of cost components found on freight invoices include any of the following (e.g. Transportation charges, Performance discount, Fuel surcharges, residential surcharges, etc.). Each cost component is the per unit, per transaction fee for GL Coding that cost component.
