As a manufacturer or a distributor, you can benefit from implementing the SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks application by Vistex. SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks helps you streamline chargeback processes, reduce errors, validate claims, reduce disputes, prevent overpayments, and achieve extensive savings in labor costs.

To remain competitive as a manufacturer, you may frequently offer your customers special pricing promotions. As a distributor, sometimes these offers require that you sell products for less than the actual prices that you have paid for the products. You can use the chargeback process to recover the difference between your acquisition cost and the customer sales price.

With SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks, you can manage the entire chargeback process life cycle – from claim initiation and receipt through adjudication, accrual, settlement, and postsettlement adjustment.

SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks can help you:

• Create a variety of contract agreements with multiple manufacturers and end users
• Process claims using electronic data interchange (EDI), flat files, a Web portal, or manual entry using fast-entry tools
• Validate contract agreements
• Settle payback and chargeback documents based on flexible settlement parameters
• Settle accrued rebate expenses, with automatic reversal of accruals, to SAP accounts receivable or accounts payable software
• Easily reconcile and resolve disputes
• Use multiple currencies and units of measure
• Report rebate claim and plan/performance tracking to management and plan participants through standard reports, a Web portal, or ad hoc reporting tools
• Establish a full-audit trail for the entire chargeback life cycle to support corporate accounting and compliance efforts
• Use analytical and simulation functionality to evaluate and promote desirable programs and model new programs
