SmartRevIQ Chargeback
Automate pharmaceutical chargebacks, eliminate revenue leakage, and gain complete visibility across wholesalers, GPO/IDN, 340B, and federal programs—all in one intelligent platform.
Bring Control and Confidence to Chargebacks
Chargeback errors and blind spots can quietly erode gross margin. SmartRevIQ centralizes ingestion, scrubbing, validation, and reconciliation of chargeback data at scale—backed by program-aware rules and analytics designed for pharma complexities (GPO/IDN, 340B program, FSS, VA/DoD).

How SmartRevIQ Chargebacks Works
Our process ensures every claim is validated, reconciled, and resolved with complete traceability.

Rule engine checks contract price eligibility, unit measures, effective dates, reversals, and ship-to alignment.
Reconcile
Claims are matched to reference data; compliant claims are auto-approved, exceptions routed to analysts.
Dispute & Resolve
Auto-generate dispute packets with evidence; track outcomes and partner response SLAs.
Analyze & Improve
Dashboards highlight margin leakage, duplicate discount risks (incl. 340B), and partner performance trends.

SmartRevIQ reconciles wholesaler debit claims, ship-and-debit allowances, and indirect contract claims with automated line-item validation.
Distributor & Wholesaler Chargebacks
Processes EDI 844 claims and auto-generates EDI 849 responses, validating contract prices against distributor acquisition costs.
Special Pricing Allowance (SPA) Debit Claims
Validates distributor claims for pre-authorized end-user contract discounts, preventing claim overpayments and unauthorized margin leakage.
Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) Tier Claims
Verifies end-user roster eligibility and GPO contract tier alignment before authorizing indirect price concessions.

Chargeback Validation Engine & SAP ERP Integration
How SmartRevIQ replaces manual line-by-line claim audits with automated EDI reconciliation.
Automated Claims Ingestion & Response
Ingests distributor EDI 844 claims, normalizes part numbers and customer identifiers, and automatically returns EDI 849 line-item disposition codes within seconds.
WAC vs. Contract Price Matching
Validates wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) against active contract condition records (VK11), flagging price discrepancies and unauthorized date ranges (datab / datbi).
Automated Credit Memo Execution
Compliant claims trigger automated creation of SAP Credit Memos (VF01 / VA01), cleanly releasing accrued GL liabilities with exact ledger alignment.
Automated Exception Packet Generation
Rejected or partially approved claims automatically compile audit evidence packets, sending detailed line-item dispute reasons back to the distributor portal.
Worked Example: Wholesaler Chargeback Audit & Dispute Recovery
See how SmartRevIQ audits an EDI 844 debit claim, detects contract price errors, and auto-generates credit memos.
Step 1: Ingestion & Line Audit
Step 2: Variance Detection
Step 3: Auto-Settlement & EDI 849
SAP Credit Memo: $25,000 Posted | EDI 849 Status: PARTIAL_ACCEPT (Dispute Code 104) | Net Leakage Prevented: $5,000.00
SmartRevIQ automatically approved the valid $25,000 liability while blocking the $5,000 overclaim, generating an instant EDI 849 dispute code back to the distributor without requiring manual analyst adjudication.
