20110047021 | Minimum and maximum recommended supply lines for determining price-protection rebate - A minimum recommended supply line (RSL) and a maximum RSL during a time period are determined. The minimum RSL is based on a minimum number of a product that is recommended to be in inventory for the time period. The maximum RSL is based on a maximum number of the product that is recommended to be in inventory for the time period. A number of the product is purchased equal to or greater than the minimum RSL minus a number of the product already in inventory at a beginning of the time period. A price-protected number of the product is determined as a smaller of the maximum RSL and a number of the product in inventory at an end of the time period. A rebate amount is determined as equal to the price-protected number multiplied by a decrease in price of the product from the time period to a next time period. | 02-24-2011 |
