Catch duplicate bills. Verify rebills.
Compare related carrier bills side by side. AP confirms the duplicate or clears a legitimate rebill before any exposure is counted.
Freight duplicates are an invoice-pair decision.
An exact invoice number match can be strong evidence. A repeated PRO by itself is not. Freight billing frequently produces related documents for the same movement, which is why Linehaul keeps the computed evidence separate from the durable reviewer decision.
Linehaul normalizes common invoice-label prefixes while preserving significant digits and leading zeros.
The detector can compare carrier, invoice number, PRO, total, charge structure, shipment date, and BOL where those fields are available.
A reviewer confirms the duplicate, marks a legitimate related bill, or reopens the pair when the evidence changes.
A possible duplicate is not automatically leakage.
Linehaul deliberately separates a machine-detected relationship from a confirmed financial conclusion. Until a reviewer confirms the pair as duplicate, the duplicate signal contributes $0 automatic duplicate exposure.
Independent supported math discrepancies can still remain actionable on the same invoice. The duplicate workflow does not erase a separate supported billing variance.
Strong invoice-pair evidence, but still reviewable before the financial state is confirmed.
The pair shares meaningful signals but does not justify a confirmed duplicate conclusion yet.
The same shipment may have been corrected, rerated, replaced, or supplemented with another legitimate charge.
Only after confirmation can Linehaul use the full billed invoice amount as duplicate exposure and enable the duplicate dispute workflow.
Don't make AP decide the same invoice pair again tomorrow.
Linehaul records the reviewer decision for the specific company and invoice pair. The computed evidence remains separate, so the workflow can distinguish what the detector observed from what a reviewer actually confirmed.
Record the pair as a confirmed duplicate and enable the confirmed-duplicate financial workflow.
Keep the related invoice as legitimate rather than repeatedly flagging it as unresolved duplicate exposure.
Clear the prior decision when new evidence requires another review.
Duplicate review belongs inside the AP workflow.
Duplicate freight invoice detection FAQ
Does the same PRO number mean a freight invoice is a duplicate?
No. A repeated PRO is a review signal. Corrected invoices, rebills, supplemental accessorial bills, replacement bills, and rerates can legitimately reference the same shipment. Linehaul compares additional evidence before classifying the relationship.
What evidence does Linehaul use for duplicate or rebill review?
Linehaul can compare supported persisted evidence including carrier, invoice number, PRO number, invoice total, charge structure, shipment date, BOL, prior invoice status, and prior date.
Does a possible duplicate automatically count as an overpayment?
No. An unconfirmed possible duplicate or rebill contributes zero automatic duplicate exposure. Full billed amount is used as duplicate exposure only after a reviewer confirms the invoice pair as a duplicate.
Can a reviewer mark a related freight bill as legitimate?
Yes. Reviewers can mark an invoice pair as a valid rebill or supplemental bill, confirm a duplicate, or reopen and change the prior decision. Decisions are stored for the specific invoice pair.
