What Is a Paid Rebate?
A paid rebate is rebate money a vendor has actually remitted to a partner - the cash that reached the bank, as credit, check or wire. Paid is the final state in the audit view, and the one partners tend to take on trust, even though it is the number most likely to be light, late or split incorrectly across periods.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. When the only figure a partner sees is the vendor's payment, that payment is accepted as correct by default. Checking paid against earned and claimed flips that: it confirms the money landed, at the right amount, for the right period. A payment that arrives a few percent short is invisible until someone compares it to what was earned.

Not necessarily. Payments can arrive short, late, or split wrongly across periods. Comparing the paid amount against what was earned and claimed is what catches the difference.
