Adjustment Tab

The Adjustment tab lets you manage your contract-level adjustments. Adjustments are either markups or mark-downs. Sometimes, rather than re-negotiating a contract, trading partners decide to implement an adjustment to a specific vendor or an entire contract. Adjustments can be applied to GPO contracts and local contracts. Adjustments and surcharges are different. A surcharge, for something like a shipping charge, is a dollar amount added on top of the base price. An adjustment is a percentage applied to the base price (either positive or negative).

Some GPOs send adjustments in their nightly data feed to CCXpert; others do not. You will need to verify with your GPO if they are making adjustments automatically or if you need to enter them in CCXpert.

Important: For efficiency, to ensure that data doesn't get overwritten, and to ensure all your contracts have the correct adjustments, adjustments should be applied in a specific order. Refer to Understand Adjustments for more information.
