The GLC service is designed to automate the general ledger coding process for your customers who are high-volume shippers. The intent of this article is to give an overview of GL Coding service and the features available to your customers.

How General Ledger Coding works

Rules

GL Coding Rules govern how shipping charges are routed into cost centers and act together to handle exceptions flawlessly. GLC uses specific rules that a customer sets to match invoice data with a customer’s internal codes and validates each cost component.

Using coding logic, any part of the shipping invoice data can be leveraged to route charges into individual cost centers, including the following:

• Account Number
• Actual Weight
• Billing Unit
• Charge Description
• Dimensional Volume
• Invoice Number
• Master EDI number
• Payment Type
• Plan number
• Rated Weight
• Receiver Name
• Receiver Company
• Receiver Address
• Receiver City
• Receiver State
• Receiver Country
• Reference Note
• Receiver Postal Code
• Sender Name
• Sender Company
• Sender Address
• Sender City
• Sender State
• Sender Country
• Sender Postal Code

Secondary rules

Think of secondary rules like lower priority rules that target other attributes of a shipment to help handle the exceptions automatically instead of having to reconcile them manually. For example, if a reference field is missing, a secondary rule targeting the ship-from-location correctly routes the charges into the appropriate cost center.

• Match All
• Match Any
• Match None
• Begins With
• Contains
• Ends With
• Equals
• Matches Wildcards
• Is Empty
• Doesn’t Begin With
• Doesn’t Contain
• Doesn’t End With
• Doesn’t Equal
• Isn’t Empty
• Doesn’t Match Wildcards
