Technology Spend evidence guide

Evaluate software spend review for reseller pass-through pricing

A buyer evaluating spend-review software should test whether reseller charges can be explained without assuming access to the upstream supplier. The acceptance question is which pass-through and markup differences can be substantiated from available records.

Records and measurement boundaries

Provide a permitted sample of the reseller agreement, price schedule, invoices, order confirmations, credits and any upstream evidence the customer is authorized to hold. Include a documented markup rule, currency basis and effective-date change. Mark missing upstream records rather than replacing them with estimated public list prices.

Checks that resolve this question

Ask the evaluator to distinguish fixed resale prices from actual-cost pass-through arrangements. Test a credit carried through later, a fee outside the stated markup base and a currency adjustment with incomplete support. Require a trace from every reported difference to the specific rule and records. The evaluator must be able to return an unresolved result when the contract or upstream basis is absent.

The finance and operations decision

Set acceptance around explainable evidence, exclusions and reviewer approval, not a promised recovery percentage. Procurement should retain the test disposition and outstanding records request. Explore the Technology Spend workspace and plans with this sample scope, and confirm security requirements before supplying customer documents.

Limits of the conclusion

AuditRes is available for onboarding; this evaluation does not imply a connected reseller feed or a completed authoritative spend producer. A list-price difference alone is not a valid pass-through discrepancy.
