What is 'invoice submission' in SAP TM - Transportation Management?

invoice submission - Overview

• Component: TM

• Component Name: Transportation Management

• Description: The process in which a provider of transportation services, such as a carrier, uses the collaboration portal to submit a carrier invoice to a requester of transportation services, such as a shipper. The carrier can use a freight order number as a reference to view the freight orders that have not yet been invoiced. If there is a mismatch between the invoice that the carrier submits and what the shipper expects to pay for the freight orders in the invoice, the system automatically creates a freight settlement dispute case in the background. The shipper and carrier can use the freight settlement dispute management process to resolve a dispute case.
