The rebate cheque is one number.Your purchase history is thousands.

We check the supplier statement and the buying group recap against the same purchases, line by line.

  • Fixtures and faucets
  • Valves and fittings
  • Copper, PEX and PVC
  • Water heaters and pumps

The first pass is free while we onboard the first ten distributors.

Cross the level and the rate goes back to dollar one

Two agreements, two industries, one mechanism. Neither of them is a plumbing agreement, and the note says so.

Back to dollar one is written in quotation marks three times in that paragraph. The drafter is quoting your trade, not inventing a phrase.

We did not find a supplier agreement from an HVAC, plumbing or electrical distributor in the public filings we searched, so the paper here comes from other industries. It shows the shape of a clause. It is not evidence about your trade. The table is a lighting agreement and the quotation beside it is from a hardware cooperative that EDGAR classifies under wholesale hardware, plumbing and heating. How we searched

Three files, and both bases get checked

One statement, two bases, both checked

A line rate under an annual level is two calculations. We run both, then show you the difference against what actually arrived.

How the reconciliation works
Two stacks of paper side by side, one shorter, with a bar marking the height the short one never reached
  1. 01

    Send three files

    The statement or the group recap, the agreement behind it, and your purchase export.

  2. 02

    We run both bases

    The line rate and the annual level counted separately, then added the way the paper adds them.

  3. 03

    You see both totals

    What arrived, what the two bases add to, and the difference between them.

Two sets of paper, one set of purchases

Where a manufacturer program and a group recap cover the same invoices, the two have to agree.

We reconcile each against the invoices it names

The manufacturer agreement on its own levels and dates, the group recap on the purchases it says it is paying, and then the overlap.

How group rebates work
Nine supplier agreements fanned out, every one laid out differently, one pulled forward with an amber tab

Questions about this page

Both, separately, and then the total. A statement that pays on two bases at once gets reconciled on both of them, and we read which is which out of the agreement rather than working it back from the total they sent you.

Whichever paid you. A statement from your buying group is recorded as the group’s, against the supplier it covers, and a rule you set can leave out the lines the group settles, so one purchase is not counted against two parties. A group level that depends on what other members bought is not in your export, and the group’s own portal stays the place to read it.
