Price Protection

Highlights

• Evaluate the impact of a DBC cut: record the price change and the exposure is calculated immediately: per-unit reduction against channel inventory and covered quantity, totaled and drillable to the debits behind it.
• Exposure by distributor and by product. Know which partners carry the liability and on which parts, so a cut can be scoped, staged or renegotiated instead of simply absorbed.
• Authorized versus actually held. The same liability measured two ways — what your debits authorize, and what distributors report holding — because where they differ, your true exposure differs too.
• Stale and uncovered stock called out, not hidden. Inventory reports past your staleness threshold are marked as stale, and channel stock with no active debit behind it is surfaced — it is still covered, so it still costs.
• Credit computed from your DBC, not the claimed one. Every line validates against your price change records and effective date window, through a distributor portal or CSV import, both checked identically.
• Claimed quantity checked against reported holding. A claim for more units than last reported is flagged with both figures and the report's age — and when nothing has been reported, nothing is flagged, because absence of data is not evidence.
• Credits export ready to post. A credit memo file carrying the claim line, price change reference, distributor ERP code, verified and new DBC, credit per unit and approved amount.
