Abstract
In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided for processing reimbursement requests submitted by retail stores to distribution centers responsible for delivering products to the retail stores. A claim processing server is configured to analyze a reimbursement request, an associated electronic invoice, and a set of business rules, all of which are stored in electronic databases and obtained by the processing server. Based on this analysis, the claim processing server is programmed to either approve or deny the reimbursement request submitted by a retail store, and if the reimbursement request is approved, to generate a corrected invoice to be sent to the distribution center.
