Benefits of using an 844 Product Transfer Account Adjustment
The EDI 844 transaction is part of the Contract Administration and Chargeback (reimbursement) series. After the sale and shipment of products to eligible customers at contract prices, the distributor electronically transmits a chargeback claim. These products and prices have been agreed upon and notification sent to the appropriate distributor(s) through the electronic transmission of an 845 Bid Award/Change Notification. Benefits of the EDI 844 include:
Transmission of data for debit, credit or the request made for credit
Often used by manufacturers and distributors
Particularly utilized by Healthcare Medical/Pharmaceutical industry distributors
