Allowed variance

An allowed variance is a tolerance that allows for small differences between a charge calculated in eCargo and the actual invoiced charge from the carrier.

Variances are used when reconciling supplier invoice line charges on invoices imported into eCargo. These small differences are generally due to differences in rounding or decimal places. Variances are either set up as dollar or percentage values for each combination of charge type, supplier, and customer.
