### Create invoices from orders.
ABC Trucking is looking to streamline their invoicing process and ensure charges are in sync with the tendered load from the shipper. Normally, discrepancies&nbsp;are not identified until the invoice is being processed and is compared to the order. With the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Transactions API, a carrier can&nbsp;retrieve orders and use them as a template to create their invoices for time savings. Any discrepancies are identified before the invoice even goes out the&nbsp;door, eliminating potential downstream audit exceptions.
### Manage audit exceptions.
Robert works for ABC Trucking, collecting information to manage rate discrepancies between the invoice and the order. Currently, he logs in to systems to&nbsp;retrieve and update these details, which is tedious and time-consuming. By subscribing to the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Transaction API, Robert can retrieve&nbsp;the details at the push of a button, so he can spend less time working manually and resolve discrepancies faster.
### Validate status and payment processing.
Karen is a collector at ABC Trucking and spends most of her time tracking down the payment status of invoices. As she increases the number of accounts she&nbsp;manages, she needs a better way to receive this information so that she can spend time on more valuable tasks. She can use the U.S. Bank Freight Payment&nbsp;Transactions API to quickly retrieve status and payment details on demand, and update the system as often as needed.
### Balance the books.
Will is a finance manager and Circle Technologies, charged with forecasting and reconciling the monthly freight-related expenses for shipping goods to his&nbsp;customers. Will pulls a variety of reports to validate monthly expenses and log accruals in his system. Then, his IT department has a process that takes two&nbsp;days to process the details and make them available in his data warehouse for additional reporting and data retention needs. Instead, with the Freight Payment&nbsp;Transactions API, Circle Technologies can easily retrieve the data that Will needs during critical times throughout the month, without running a single report.Rather than the IT department pulling and conditioning large month-end reports, they can pull in details gradually. This improves overall system performance&nbsp;and avoids the scramble to move data every month.
