Refused loads: when the pallets come back but the declaration stands
A load you declared to a customer comes back refused. Unless the declaration is corrected, the pallets are on the customer's account and your floor at the same time.
What goes wrong
You ship and declare a load. The customer refuses it and the carrier brings it back. Your WMS receives it, but the declaration to the customer is still on the pallet company's books, so the pallets are counted twice: once with the customer, once on your floor.
What to do
When a refused load is received back, correct or reverse the original declaration.
Upload your receipts with every audit: PalletAudits finds loads that came back by matching the receipt to the original shipment's reference and customer, and lists them to correct.
Find your missing pallets
PalletAudits matches every shipment to a declared transfer and lists what to declare, dispute and recount. Your first audit is free.
