The issue
Promotion and allowance deductions require the supplier to determine whether an agreement applied, whether the dates and products match, and whether the amount follows the agreed calculation.
Documents to gather
- Supplier or trade agreement
- Promotion authorization
- Invoice and purchase order
- Item and date detail
- Proof of performance when relevant
Review checklist
- Identify the agreement cited by the deduction
- Match dates, items and locations
- Recalculate the allowance from the contract terms
- Check whether the allowance was already taken elsewhere
- Verify the current channel and supporting-document rules
