What Are Backouts? Backouts adjust earnings on the current contract based on volume claimed under separate contracts, preventing double-payment scenarios when the same volume is claimed across multiple agreements. The system calculates reductions by identifying volume purchased by direct contractees that has already been claimed through indirect contracts with excluded operators. | What Are Backouts?
