It confirms whether requested pricing for specific products has been approved, modified, or rejected—often in the context of contracts, promotions, chargebacks, or special pricing agreements. With TraceLink’s OPUS Platform and B2N Integrate-Once™ architecture, the EDI 845 transaction enables real-time communication of pricing decisions, reduces manual contract tracking, and supports compliance with complex pricing structures across industries such as pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and distribution. ### Key Use Cases - Confirm acceptance or rejection of a buyer’s price authorization request. - Communicate pricing status updates for contract items, promotions, or customer-specific pricing. - Notify buyers of pricing discrepancies or updated terms. - Support chargeback workflows by validating authorized pricing before invoicing. - Provide visibility into product eligibility for special pricing programs. - Enable compliance with pricing rules in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals. ### Data Elements Included An EDI ANSI X12 845 – Price Authorization Acknowledgement/Status transaction includes: - **Price Authorization Reference Number:** Identifier for the original price request. - **Status Code:** Indicates whether the price is approved, rejected, modified, or pending. - **Item Identifiers:** GTIN, NDC, SKU, or internal item codes. - **Approved or Adjusted Price:** Final unit price, including any discounts or adjustments. - **Effective and Expiration Dates:** Validity period of the approved pricing. - **Reason Codes:** Explanation for rejections or changes to requested pricing. - **Buyer and Supplier Identifiers:** Organizational or location-specific identifiers. - **Contract or Program Reference:** Links to pricing agreements, promotions, or chargeback programs. ### Benefits of EDI ANSI X12 845 – Price Authorization Acknowledgement/Status - Automates price validation workflows, reducing manual contract lookups and errors. - Improves pricing transparency across buyers, suppliers, and distributors. - Enables real-time price alignment before invoicing or fulfillment. - Supports chargeback and rebate reconciliation by validating pricing eligibility. - Reduces disputes and credit memos caused by unauthorized pricing. ### How TraceLink Supports EDI ANSI X12 845 – Price Authorization Acknowledgement/Status TraceLink’s OPUS Platform and B2N Integrate-Once™ architecture deliver a powerful solution for managing complex pricing workflows by: - Integrating directly with contract management, pricing, and rebate systems to ensure accurate and timely pricing confirmations. - Automating the reconciliation of requested prices with approved contract terms, reducing the risk of chargeback rejections or pricing disputes. - Enabling suppliers to communicate price acceptance, rejections, or modifications in real time—before fulfillment or invoicing occurs. - Providing centralized dashboards and audit trails for monitoring price approvals, exception handling, and compliance with pricing programs. - Ensuring secure and compliant exchange of sensitive pricing data, including customer-specific pricing, tiered discounts, and GPO agreements. - Supporting multi-tier pricing structures and regional pricing rules across global markets, tailored to industry-specific workflows (e.g., pharma, distribution, retail). ### Explore More EDI ANSI X12 Capabilities - [**EDI ANSI X12 850 – Purchase Orders**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-850-purchase-order): Automate order placement and reduce procurement errors. - [**EDI ANSI X12 810 – Invoice**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-810-invoice): Streamline billing and reduce disputes with electronic invoicing. - [**EDI ANSI X12 812 – Credit/Debit**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-812-credit-debit-adjustment): Adjustment: Automate post-invoice financial corrections. - [**EDI ANSI X12 867 – Product Transfer and Resale Report**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-867-product-transfer-resale): Track product movement and resale activity across the channel. - [**EDI ANSI X12 844 – Price Authorization Request**](/orchestration-integration-transactions/transform-your-supply-chain-seamless-edi-integration/edi-ansi-x12-844-product-transfer-account-adjustment): Initiate special pricing or contract price validation.
