The 845 transmits the status of, or changes to, outstanding price authorizations: contract or reference numbers, authorized prices and modifications, effective dates, eligible parties, and terms. In manufacturer-distributor relationships, especially pharmaceutical distribution, it keeps the reseller's contract records aligned with the manufacturer's so that contract sales price correctly. Partners require it because misaligned contract data surfaces later as denied chargeback claims and pricing disputes. Sent by a vendor or manufacturer to the distributors, wholesalers, or retailers that resell under its price authorizations.
When it fires: A manufacturer awards, renews, amends, or terminates a contract or special pricing agreement and must notify its resellers of the change in authorization status.
- Contract changes transmitted with insufficient lead time before the effective date, so recipients cannot load new pricing in time and invoice at stale prices.
- Contract numbers or effective date ranges that do not match what the reseller has on file, which later surfaces as chargeback lines denied for expired or invalid contracts.
- Customer eligibility data out of sync between the partners, producing downstream claim denials for customers not covered by the contract.
