Tasks associated with the vendor invoicing, Residual Blocked Invoices, Failed Invoices and Goods Receipt (GR) Verification, will tie directly to the delivery/receipt of product and invoice submitted by the vendor. Residual Blocked Invoices are partially received product or invoiced quantity from Bill of Lading (BOL) that does not match the receipt annotated by the Defense Fuel Support Point. Failed invoices are processed incorrectly; either by date of delivery, delivery location or delivery order number. Goods Receipt Verification are disputes in quantity invoiced by the vendor and the quantity received at the Defense Fuel Support Point.

An Unmatched Movement exists when the shipment and receipt document numbers for a particular movement do not match and when the movement is not in Transportation & Distribution (TD) Shipment 6 Status. Open TD shipments are shipments that are tied to a specific nomination that were either processed incorrectly or additional shipments are tied to the same nomination and have not been completed. Movements Under Investigation (MUI) pertain to all items under Task 2 and are movements that were processed that result in an excess gain or loss of .005 or greater between the applicable shipment and receipt associated with the movement and requires additional investigation and analysis to reconcile the product movement.MUIs: Contractor shall assist DLA Energy Americas Region POC’s in monitoring all EBS MUIs. Will also assist to ensure appropriate actions are initiated and/or documented to evidence the completion of an investigation along with resolving root causes. The contractor shall review MUI’s for assigned sites at least twice weekly. During review they will determine if the MUI is actually an MUI or a processing error.
