PAID
Freight is collected at booking. Ops still needs clean LR status through delivery, but cash at origin is already settled.
TO_PAY
Freight is due at delivery. Delivery and POD matter for collection — undelivered bookings leave money open.
TBB (To Be Billed)
Freight is invoiced later to a billing customer. Ops moves the LR; accounts raise GST invoices from those bookings.
Why LR software must support all three
Mixed fleets and customers use all three on the same day. Rate cards, outstanding views, and GST invoicing only work when the freight type is a first-class field on the booking — not a comment in Excel.
