Manufacturing / Deductions and chargebacks

Deduction and chargeback management

Deduction management software for suppliers selling to retail chains. Send us a batch of remittance advices with their deductions, and within a week you get each deduction matched to the order, the proof of delivery and the trade promotion it refers to, with the ones your records contradict flagged for dispute.

Built on the document pipeline that enters Biodéal's retail orders in SAP.

The reality

A retailer pays short and explains why in a remittance advice: a compliance chargeback for a late delivery, a shortage, a promotion billed back. Checking it means finding the order, the proof of delivery and the promotion agreement, often in three systems, while the dispute window keeps running.

What Mirage does

Chargeback dispute automation

Every deduction is checked against your own records, and the ones those records contradict come out with the evidence attached.

Reads the remittance advice

Short payments, deduction codes and reason texts are read from the retailer's remittance advice, portal export or email, and tied to the invoice each one reduces.

Pulls the evidence

For each deduction, the order, the delivery note, the signed proof of delivery and the trade promotion agreement are found in SAP or wherever your team keeps them.

Flags what your records contradict

A shortage the signed proof of delivery does not show, a promotion deducted twice or outside its dates, a late-delivery penalty on a delivery that arrived on time: flagged, with the documents, for your team to dispute.

Proof

Retail deduction recovery starts with the order record

Deduction checking is not yet in production at a customer. The pipeline it runs on is: at Biodéal, a distributor supplying retail chains, it has entered every email order into SAP Business One since July 2025.

Biodéal

2,943 orders read and written to SAP Business One automatically

12,993 order lines entered, each traceable to the email it came from

About 7% of orders flagged for a human check, none lost silently
