The 849 is the manufacturer's line-by-line disposition of an 844 chargeback or account-adjustment claim: which lines are accepted, which are adjusted, and which are denied, with coded reasons. It closes the reconciliation loop on contract-pricing credits, telling the distributor exactly what will be paid and what must be corrected and resubmitted. Partners require it because chargeback claims are validated against contract, customer eligibility, pricing, and quantity rules, and disputes cannot be resolved without structured reason codes. Sent by the manufacturer, or its chargeback processing agent, back to the distributor or wholesaler that submitted the 844 claim.

When it fires: A manufacturer finishes validating a received 844 chargeback claim against its contract, pricing, and customer-eligibility records and issues the disposition.

Common 849 rejection causes
  • Reason codes span eight categories (contract, customer, product, pricing, quantity, duplicates, sale date, wholesaler relationship); mapping them incorrectly causes resubmissions that fail on the same rule.
  • Adjusted lines where the approved amount differs from the claimed amount; if the distributor posts the original amount instead, open-balance discrepancies accumulate.
  • Response lines that cannot be tied back to the original debit memo or claim line identifiers, forcing manual matching during reconciliation.
