Threshold for Transportation Charge Review Cost Benefit Analysis

Abstract

Reviews of transportation charges on Commercial Bills of Landing (CBLs) are done as part of the Prepaid Transportation Program (PTP). The PTP program currently calls for a Transportation Specialist to review each invoiced CBL transportation charge that is more than $100. When this threshold triggers a review, the invoice cannot proceed through the Automatic Payment of Invoice system. Instead, it is paid manually, and a second manual pay is done for the shipping charges after they are reviewed and approved. This cost-benefit analysis found that the transportation charge threshold should be changed to $190.
