What you invoice for this order.
INVOICE CONTROL
Do not just verify the invoice. Verify the result of the order.
MMCore compares expected and actual carrier costs, then places the difference back inside the complete order economics. Customer charge, handling, storage, packaging, service, weight and surcharges remain visible so a variance is translated into margin impact.
MMCORE / ORDER ECONOMICSFrom customer tariff to actual margin
Illustrative example. MMCore shows how customer charge, expected cost, actual cost and margin belong together.
- Handling€ 2,10
- Storage€ 0,85
- Packaging€ 0,60
- Transport€ 4,20
- Surcharges€ 0,45
Expected margin: € 4,30 · 34.4%
- Handling€ 2,10
- Storage€ 0,85
- Packaging€ 0,60
- Transport€ 4,95
- Surcharges€ 1,52
+ € 1,82 above expectation
€ 2,48 / € 12,50 = 19.8%

01 — HOW IT WORKS
Expected versus actual
Compare the commercial calculation with the costs that actually occurred. A transport variance is immediately shown alongside the other cost components of the order.
Explain where margin disappeared
Trace the difference back to service, weight, surcharge, event or operational action instead of accepting a lower margin without knowing the cause.
Control the operational result
MMCore closes the loop between customer charge, warehouse execution, transport execution and carrier billing so the real margin is visible at order level.
FROM VARIANCE TO MARGIN
A cost variance becomes meaningful when you see what it does to order margin.
The example below shows the mechanism: an order calculated at € 4.30 margin ends at € 2.48 after actual carrier cost and surcharges. MMCore shows which cost components caused the difference.
