Manage chargebacks
Retrieving eligible chargebacks from vendor-driven cost-
recovery programs is a key way to receive revenue and
can mean the difference between profit and loss. Protect
your margins and improve visibility into the chargeback
process – from procure to pay to order to cash – with an
integrated chargeback management system.
SAP Vendor Program Management provides a single inte-
grated approach to managing complex, time-consuming
tasks, including contract updates, ongoing and retroactive
transaction processing, amounts-due calculation and
invoicing, documentation and reconciliation of vendor
responses, resubmissions, and detailed financial postings.
The solution helps you examine and manipulate data from
many perspectives – customer, SKU, program, channel –
allowing distributors to implement and manage these
programs more effectively. By offering real-time visibility
into transactions, processes, and programs, the chargeback
functionality of SAP Vendor Program Management
accelerates cost recovery rates, reduces vendor accounts
receivable balances and error rates, and provides a clear
view into true profitability. The functionality allows you to:
• Manage chargeback programs, including contract price,
percentage off, fixed amounts, and tiered approaches
• Gain visibility into transactions, processes, and programs
• Define, document, and track processes and workflows
• Retroactively process eligible transactions
• Determine accurate cost of goods sold for customer and
product profitability
• Access comprehensive reconciliation capabilities to
process disputes
Protect your margins, accelerate
cost recovery, and gain a view
into true profitability.

Enhance cooperative marketing and market
development fund activity
SAP Vendor Program Management lets you automatically
track fund use and validate claims to help ensure accurate
settlements. Smooth collaboration between vendors, dis-
tributors, and retailers is critical for program success. Vendor
funding programs contribute to higher margins for distributors
and retailers, but tracking claims can become a source of frus-
tration and errors when there are multiple documents and
approval requirements to manage. As vendors contribute
more promotional resources to fund services, comarketing, or
purchasing programs, it becomes more complex to track fund
use and validate claims or negotiate contracts midstream.
The solution enables you to accurately reconcile the
correct amounts and tie arrangements to the relevant
contracts. As you intuitively view critical analytics and
performance data, you can strengthen partner relations
with transparency into claims and can speed payments
by minimizing back-and-forth submissions.
Help ensure settlement accuracy,
gain critical insights, and strengthen
partner relations.
