Parcel Audit / Workflow

From source recordto reviewable evidence.

The workflow deliberately separates data preparation, calculation, expert review and realized outcome.

Four machine states. Seven audit decisions.

The run above shows the technical flow. The seven decisions below deliberately keep expert review and realized outcome separate.

Prepare sources

01
ScopeChoose carriers, billing period, services and the definition of a reviewable variance.
02
IntakeReceive only the invoice, shipment and rate data required for the agreed scope.
03
NormalizeMap field names, identifiers, currencies, units and effective dates into one audit schema.

Review and reconcile

04
Version rulesTranslate contracted base rates, zones, weights and surcharges into deterministic rules.
05
RebuildCalculate the expected charge for each linked shipment and compare it with the billed line.
06
EvidenceAttach the source record and applicable rule to every finding that survives review.
07
ReconcileTrack only carrier credits actually issued; potential findings stay separate from realized outcomes.

Evidence does not end in the dashboard.

Every confirmed finding remains linked to the invoice line, event, rate rule and its own recalculation.
