EXCEPTION-BASED RECONCILIATION
Find the Records That Require Attention
Most loads should move through the system without manual investigation. BulkLedger helps teams focus on the transactions that need review.
Exception queue
• Dispatched load with no receiving ticket • Receiving ticket with no originating load • Duplicate ticket number • Incorrect tract or destination • Product or species mismatch • Weight outside the expected range • Rejected or redirected load • Missing approval • Unsettled hauling charge • Delivered load not yet invoiced • Settlement quantity that differs from received quantity

PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL RECORD
Corrections Without Losing the Audit Trail
Weights, destinations, products, and classifications sometimes need correction. BulkLedger preserves the original value, corrected value, user, date, reason, documentation, and approval status instead of erasing the transaction history.
More Than General Accounting Software
Traditional accounting software records invoices, expenses, payments, and summarized inventory adjustments. It usually does not explain the physical commodity movements that produced those numbers. BulkLedger documents where material originated, who loaded and hauled it, where it was delivered, what the scale reported, what product and quantity were accepted, what entered inventory or production, what was shipped, invoiced, settled, and paid, and why a transaction was adjusted.
Industries Served
Timber buyers, logging contractors, landowners, sawmills, chip mills, pole mills, pulpwood operations, lumber manufacturers, kiln operations, lumber yards, timber brokers, biomass operations, mulch and bark operations, wood-products manufacturers, and timber transportation companies.
