Usage breakdown

Who trades X12 845 Price Authorization Acknowledgment Status

845 is used most heavily in building & hardware.

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. A manufacturer awards, renews, amends, or terminates a contract or special pricing agreement and must notify its resellers of the change in authorization status.
