Removing Factoring Configuration

If you stop using a factoring company:

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Invoicing & Accounting β†’ Factoring

Multi-Division Setup

If you have multiple divisions, each division can have its own factoring configuration:

  4. Repeat for other divisions as needed

This allows different divisions to use different factoring companies or have different default settings.


Troubleshooting Connection Issues

  1. Verify credentials - Double-check username/password with your factoring rep

  2. Check for typos - Credentials are case-sensitive
    ​

  3. Contact support - Truckbase support can help verify your connection
    ​

  4. Contact your factoring company - They may need to whitelist Truckbase's servers
