Explore the questions that matter
Does the invoice match the agreed rate?
No. CI-104 is AED 200.00 above the AED 1,380.00 agreed in RC-104, or 14.5%. Ask the carrier for the agreement or record behind the extra charge before deciding how to process the invoice.
Was delivery completed as planned?
POD-104 records 18:30 against a 16:00 schedule: 150 minutes late. The timing difference does not explain the cause or create an automatic penalty; confirm the circumstances with the carrier and receiving team.
Does the warehouse release prove delivery?
No. The warehouse released 12 of 12 pallets at 10:00 and the carrier collected them at 10:30. That confirms the dispatch handoff; only proof of delivery records receipt.
