Per-booking payment does not work for a trade account placing volume. It creates administrative load out of proportion to the value and puts a payment step in the middle of every transaction.
Trade accounts settle on periodic terms agreed at approval. Statements carry the booking reference you used, so lines reconcile against your own system rather than requiring translation between two sets of references.
Disputes and adjustments
Where a journey did not run as booked, the adjustment is made against the statement rather than handled as a separate credit process. Queries raised within the statement period are resolved before settlement falls due, which avoids the situation where an account is paying a line it is still disputing.
