What Is a Single Source of Truth (Rebates)?
A single source of truth is one authoritative, consolidated record of a partner's rebate data - purchases, sales, targets, program rules, claims and payments - that every team works from, replacing scattered spreadsheets and disconnected portals. For rebates, it means one trusted answer to "what are we owed, and were we paid?" across all vendors.
Why it matters to partners. When sales, finance and operations each keep their own spreadsheet, the numbers drift and rebates fall through the gaps. A single source of truth ends the reconciliation arguments: finance forecasts from the same data sales acts on, and nothing is double-counted or missed. It is what turns rebates from an afterthought into a managed revenue line.
