Introduction
This section explains how factoring works in Carrier TMS and what enabling it means for your invoices.
Carrier TMS includes a built-in factoring feature that helps streamline invoicing when you work with a factoring company. When factoring is enabled, a Notice of Assignment is automatically added to your invoices, instructing customers to send payment directly to your factoring partner instead of your business.
This article walks through how to set up your factoring company, how to apply factoring to invoices, and what changes when factoring is enabled.
