• Key Concepts: 
  Authority-to-load credit check is a feature of the IS-OIL-DS-TSW Trader's and Scheduler's Workbench. It is used to ensure that a customer has sufficient credit to cover the cost of a load before it is shipped. The credit check is performed by comparing the customer's credit limit with the estimated cost of the load. If the customer's credit limit is insufficient, the load will not be shipped until the customer has paid for it or increased their credit limit.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the authority-to-load credit check feature, first enter the customer's information into the system. This includes their name, address, and credit limit. Then, enter the estimated cost of the load. The system will then compare the customer's credit limit with the estimated cost of the load. If the customer's credit limit is insufficient, they will need to pay for the load or increase their credit limit before it can be shipped.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of customers' credit limits in order to ensure that they have sufficient funds to cover any loads that are shipped. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in customers' credit limits in order to avoid any delays in shipping due to insufficient funds.
