Overview
The EDI ANSI X12 867 – Product Transfer and Resale transaction is used by distributors, wholesalers, or 3PLs to report product movement and resale activity to manufacturers or brand owners. It provides detailed information on product transfers between locations, sales to end customers, and inventory adjustments—supporting chargeback, rebate, and compliance programs.
With TraceLink’s OPUS Platform and B2N Integrate-Once™ architecture, the EDI 867 transaction enables real-time, structured reporting of downstream product activity. This helps manufacturers gain visibility into product flow beyond the first sale, ensuring accurate contract pricing, regulatory compliance, and channel performance tracking.
Key Use Cases
- Report product sales from distributors to end customers for chargeback and rebate validation.
- Track transfers of inventory between distributor or 3PL locations.
- Support government pricing and compliance programs (e.g., Medicaid, 340B in pharma).
- Enable accurate accruals and financial reconciliation for contract pricing.
- Improve visibility into downstream demand for forecasting and planning.
- Monitor channel performance, customer buying behavior, and inventory flow.
