In Indian transport offices, TBB is the freight type used when an agreed billing customer will receive an invoice later — often on credit — instead of cash at booking (PAID) or collection from the consignee at delivery (TO_PAY). On the iLogitix booking screen this freight type is labelled To BB; billed-to (billing customer) is required.
Unbilled TBB LRs are a common source of revenue leakage. Keep freight type, billed-to, delivery status and invoice status on the same LR so accounts can see what is ready to bill. GST split (SGST/CGST vs IGST), place of supply and invoice timing should be confirmed with your CA — software stores the booking; it is not tax advice.
Full walkthrough: PAID vs TO_PAY vs TBB, who pays, outstanding, and how TBB connects to GST billing.
What is TBB on an LR in Hindi offices?
Desks still print TBB in English on the LR. It is not a Hindi expansion like बिल्टी. It means the party invoice will be raised later, often on credit, to the billed-to account instead of cash at booking or delivery.
How is TBB different from PAID and TO_PAY?
PAID is collected at booking, usually from the consignor. TO_PAY is collected at delivery, usually from the consignee. TBB is billed later to an account. Mixing these in Excel is how unbilled LRs leak revenue after POD is already on file.
