Solutions · Deductions Recovery
Recover the deductions you write off as not worth chasing.
Up to 20% of the deductions retailers take are invalid, and the long tail gets written off because chasing each one costs more than it returns. Duvo validates every deduction against the PO, proof of delivery, and promo terms, then files the invalid ones for recovery.
Queue dashboard
A case for every deduction, with the evidence and a verdict.
Each deduction becomes a case: code, contradicting evidence, recoverable amount, and dispute to file.
Deductions Recovery
Retailer deductions validated against POs, proof of delivery, promo agreements, and price lists.
Every item becomes a tracked case
Cases move through pending, in progress, needs input, postponed, and completed, so the team sees throughput and blockers at a glance.
Anything that moves money pauses for review
Cases that need a person carry the amount, reason, and evidence so the owner can approve, dispute, or hold without rebuilding the trail.
The recoverable amount is visible early
The invalid deduction amount per case is shown against the evidence that contradicts it, ready to dispute.
Each case ends in a verified update
Approved actions are written back to the system of record with the evidence, status, and reason code attached.

The problem
Thousands of deductions land. Only the big ones get worked.
Each deduction needs the code, a PO, delivery, and promo agreement pulled before anyone calls it valid.
The long tail is written off.
Small ones cost more in analyst time than they recover, so the tail stays written off.
The evidence sits in five places.
Remittance codes, POs, deliveries, and promo terms rarely meet in one view to settle a claim.
Disputes need a sign-off.
Analysts and trade finance keep the call on what is disputed and filed.
How the solution works
Every deduction worked through the portals and systems you already have.
Your team keeps the commercial call. Intake, evidence, validation, and filing arrive worked.
Read every deduction.
Deductions come in from remittances, EDI 812, and retailer portals, with the codes normalised.
Pull the backup.
The PO, ASN, proof of delivery, invoice, promo agreement, and price list are collected per deduction.
Check against the evidence.
Each deduction is classified valid, invalid, or partial against the supporting documents and agreed terms.
Pause where judgement matters.
Invalid deductions reach the analyst with the dispute pack, contradicting evidence, and calculation assembled.
File and reconcile.
Approved disputes are filed in the retailer portal, tracked, and the recovery reconciled with evidence.
Inside a case
The dispute pack is ready before the analyst approves it.
The deduction code, retailer, PO, remittance, promo evidence, recovery value, and filing action sit in one reviewable case.When the deduction is invalid, the analyst approves with the contradiction and calculation already attached.
