How the whole Deduction Process works.
Your ERP system most likely holds the information on all your open deductions with distributors. If you can send a file of all your open deductions, then the Deduction Module within GoSimple can help clear some.
Here's why.
When you as the manufacturer set up deviated programs with operators, the distributor is the one who has to give the operator the case at a lower price they normally would. The distributor wants their money for that “billback” so they deduct it from an invoice you sent them when the distributor buys products.
Those “billbacks” get entered into GoSimple so with the Deduction Module you'll be able to see an open deduction and also see what “billback” is involved to close the deduction.
Deduction Rebill Process
When a claim or portion of a claim is identified as invalid and actioned accordingly, the deduction status automatically moves to “Rebillable.” Our comprehensive TPM tool enables manufacturers to:
REBILL PROCESS RESPONSIBILITY
Once the deduction is labeled as rebillable or rebill sent, the responsibility of requesting repayment, tracking the rebill requests and following up is on the Manufacturer to manage.
CRITICAL RECOMMENDATION: ESTABLISH A CONSISTENT WORKFLOW
We strongly recommend that each manufacturer establishes and maintains a regular cadence for managing Rebillable and Rebill Sent deductions. Key considerations include:
Best Practice Implement a structured schedule for reviewing and following up on rebillable deductions to ensure optimal collection rates and maintain healthy cash flow.
