Records needed for this question
Route manifest, stop sequence and internal allocation policy.
How to investigate
Reconcile the external invoice first, then test the allocation driver for internal reporting.
An illustrative review decision
The carrier may correctly bill a multi-stop route even when the internal allocation disadvantages one plant. Keep the route reconciliation separate from the policy discussion about weight, distance or stop-based allocation.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
An unfair internal allocation does not necessarily mean the carrier billed incorrectly.
The result to retain
A route-total reconciliation and separate allocation review.
