From TBB booking to invoice
TBB (To Be Billed) LRs accumulate against a billing customer. At invoice time, accounts select bookings by date range, sum freight and extras, then apply tax. If ops data is incomplete, billing becomes a reconstruction project.
Refresh PAID, TO_PAY & TBB if those types are still fuzzy for your team.
SGST/CGST vs IGST (in plain terms)
- Same state — typically SGST + CGST on the invoice
- Inter-state — typically IGST
Software should apply the right split from booking context so accounts are not guessing per line in a sheet.
Outstanding and payments
After invoices go out, teams still need payment tracking and a clear outstanding view. That loop is why billing belongs beside LR ops — not in a disconnected accounts-only tool. Product detail: GST transport billing.
