Pricing & contract management · Janitorial & packaging supply
Bill the contracted price on every line.
National account rates, tiered pricing, and pass-through clauses live in the contract but get missed at invoicing. Each variance becomes a credit memo or lost margin.
The reality
Price exceptions are a mapping problem.
The same SKU carries a list price, a buying-group national account rate, and a customer-specific contract price — and the wrong one fires at invoicing more often than anyone admits. The team works a variance report, traces each flagged line back to the governing contract, and issues corrections after the customer catches them.
The operator flags the price variance, maps the line to the national account contract or pass-through schedule, and corrects the invoice before it goes out — so the contracted price is what the customer actually gets billed.
