What Is a Claimed Rebate?
A claimed rebate is an earned rebate a partner has formally submitted to the vendor for payment, with any required documentation. It sits in the middle of the audit view: a rebate can be earned but not yet claimed, claimed but not yet paid, or claimed and paid - and the gaps between those states are where money stalls.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. Some vendor rebates pay automatically, but many require a claim - and an earned rebate that is never claimed is never paid. Tracking claimed against earned surfaces the rebates a partner qualified for but never submitted. Tracking paid against claimed surfaces the claims that were filed but stalled or rejected. Both gaps are pure, recoverable leakage.
