Using the BOL if there is no POD? Turn this on today

Hi there,

Alvys now lets each subsidiary decide whether a Bill of Lading can satisfy a Proof of Delivery requirement when releasing or invoicing a load. Until now, if a load required a POD but only had a BOL attached, Alvys accepted the BOL automatically — with no way to turn that off. That default is changing.

Starting August 4, subsidiaries that haven't opted in will require an actual Proof of Delivery before a load can be released or invoiced.

Want a BOL to keep standing in for a POD?

1. Go to Settings → Subsidiaries → Invoice Settings, find Proof of Delivery under Required Documents.
2. Enable "Use Bill of Lading as Proof of Delivery" before August 4.

Prefer strict separation? Leave it off and a BOL alone will no longer release or invoice the load. When both documents are present, the POD is always used.
