A Product Transfer Account Adjustment Request is a formal transaction used in the pharmaceutical supply chain to correct financial discrepancies related to the movement of products between trading partners—typically between wholesalers/distributors and manufacturers. It is most commonly associated with chargeback claims, where a distributor seeks reimbursement for selling a product at a contracted price that is lower than their acquisition cost.
