In GoFreight, there are two invoice modes: Invoice Based and Billing Based.
“Billing Based” is mainly used in China due to their billing and reimbursement practices. If you need to use the Billing Based mode, please contact the GoFreight Support Team to have it enabled.
To execute block charges in billing-based mode, you must have permission to block shipment files.
Blocking and unblocking shipments are essential functions that allow authorized users to secure all related information within a shipment file, including both shipment and accounting details. By default, only users with the General Manager role are allowed to block or unblock shipment files. Other users who require this feature will need approval from the General Manager or the Admin role.
To block charges in billing-based mode, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to the shipment's Accounting tab.
2. Once all charges are confirmed, click the Tools button located in the upper right corner, and select Block.
This action will block all costs and revenues associated with this MB/L (Master Bill of Lading) and HB/L (House Bill of Lading), preventing any changes.
3. If you only need to block a single invoice, go to the Action column, select the invoice you want to block, click Action to open the dropdown menu, and choose Block. This action will block all charges with the same invoice number.
4. If you only want to block the invoice at the HB/L level, please go to the Tools menu at the top right corner of the HB/L section and select Block to lock it.
