Questions from finance teams
How does Palier estimate the rebate before year end?
From the validated turnover and the landing declared by each supplier, to which Palier applies the agreement’s scale. The figure is labelled as a projection until the last period is validated.
Can management control get read-only access?
Yes, with the viewer role: it reads all the account’s data and can export, without changing anything.
Are the amounts exact to the cent?
Yes. Amounts are stored in cents, rates to four decimals, and each scale is rounded once, to the euro or the cent as the account is set up.
Does Palier issue the rebate credit notes or invoices?
No. Palier computes, negotiates and documents the rebate; credit notes or invoices are issued in your ERP, fed by the results export and the PDF recaps.
