Finance as the accounting layer of the supply chain OS

Why logistics costs never match finance

In traditional operations, the transportation team approves invoices (`freightInvoices`) in spreadsheets, finance pays carriers in batches and accounting closing discovers discrepancies weeks later. This kills predictability and margin. In NexLog OS, each invoice goes through freight audit, becomes `costAllocations` distributed by relevant cost objects, is accrued daily and paid in settlement with netting and adjustments — all auditable, with canonical events in the ledger.

Profitability Lens and Billing

Profitability Lens calculates margin by any segment (customer, channel, SKU, region) in real time, because it consumes the financial ledger directly. Billing Engine issues customer B2B invoices with versioned contract rules — surcharges, discounts, SLAs, bonuses. Claims and chargebacks also live here, connected to TMS incidents and OMS returns. This transforms finance from a reactive module into a strategic layer.

ERP Integration

NexLog OS Finance does not aim to replace SAP, Oracle or Totvs — it complements them. All financial events are exportable via REST API and webhooks, on the same MDM shared with WMS, TMS and OMS. ERPs receive only consolidated facts (accruals, accounts payable, accounts receivable), while the OS handles operational detail. This separation of concerns is what enables modernizing supply chain without replacing ERP.
