Rebate management for Odoo
Flexible discounting doesn’t catch the leak — the B2B rebates and billbacks you’ve earned slip away without a governed engine to prove them. Odoo is flexible on discounts — pricelists, coupons, loyalty, percent or fixed markdowns. What it doesn't ship is a governed engine for B2B trade rebates, billbacks and chargebacks with ASC 606/705-20 discipline. Aurgus is the governed layer beside Odoo.
Great at discounts — not built for governed trade rebates
Odoo handles discounts, pricelists, coupons and loyalty well, and you can model a simple rebate with those tools or a community/custom module. Governed B2B trade rebates are a different problem — the one that decides whether the booked number survives an audit:
- 01Retroactive volume tiers. When crossing a threshold reprices the whole period back to dollar one, a flat accrual line under-reserves until the catch-up lands in one quarter.
- 02ASC 606 estimates and true-ups. Variable consideration has to be estimated, constrained, and re-based every period — not booked at the rate earned so far, and not trued up once at year-end.
- 03Vendor rebates under ASC 705-20. A purchase rebate follows the goods — inventory while they sit, COGS as they sell — rather than a single up-front credit to COGS.
- 04Claim-to-settlement reconciliation. Matching what you claimed to what actually settled, by program and period, is where short-pay quietly hides.
- 05The ten-minute rebuild. Reconstructing a posted accrual to its source rows on demand is the audit test — and the first thing a bolt-on or spreadsheet loses.
Keep running on Odoo. Govern the rebate beside it.
By design, Aurgus works alongside Odoo and reads from its exports — orders, agreements, claims, settlements — governs the rebate and incentive estimate outside it under ASC 606 and ASC 705-20, surfaces exceptions for approval, and writes nothing back to the Odoo general ledger. No custom rebate module to maintain; every accrual traces to source. Because it reads rather than lives inside, it also spans a mixed-ERP group or a migration in progress.
