Using a carrier invoice

• The debits showcased on your shipping invoice are the costs related to shipments billed to your account.
• The credits are refunds and credits that were applied to your account.
• Each carrier details the refunds and credits posted to an invoice with the same tracking number to post both credits and debits.
• The invoice where a credit was applied may be different than the invoice were a debit was applied, both related to the same tracking number.
• The Dispute activity table on EPISCS details where the refund or credit was secured. In the case of different invoices for credits and debits, EPISCS will post the invoice number where a credit was secured, and apply screenshots taken from within your dashboard to assist in verifying the refunds.
