Transforming deductions management

Managing the low value or the under-tolerance deductions

Tracking and reporting accuracy

Under-tolerance deductions present a distinct challenge in business, especially for industries like consumer packaged goods with high volumes of transactions. Despite their low value, processing these deductions often costs more than they are worth. This situation forces businesses to decide whether to invest resources in processing or writing them off. AI-ML solutions provide a compelling solution by automating the classification and resolution of these deductions. This approach combines efficiency with accuracy, significantly reducing the operational costs associated with manual processing.

The accuracy of AI-ML models is crucial to ensure that valid deductions are not wrongfully dismissed and invalid ones appropriately challenged. Monitoring precision and recall metrics, alongside a confusion matrix, provides insights into the true positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative rates. Regular reporting and analysis of these metrics help refine the model, improving its decision-making capabilities with additional data and feedback loops. To validate the model’s accuracy, businesses conduct periodic audits, including end-of-year reviews, and adjust parameters to align with changing business environments, regulations, and operational strategies. Benefits of minimizing human intervention in managing low-value deductions Removing human intervention from the process of managing under-tolerance deductions delivers multiple benefits:

AI-ML automation in under-tolerance deductions

AI-ML models efficiently classify under-tolerance deductions as either valid or invalid. Unlike high-value deductions, which may have nuanced probabilistic outcomes requiring detailed analysis and potential human intervention, under-tolerance deductions are treated with a binary classification approach. This means each deduction is definitively marked as valid or invalid based on the model’s learning without the ambiguity of probabilistic ranges. This binary output streamlines the decision-making process, allowing immediate and automatic actions without needing manual review.

• Cost efficiency: By automating the classification and handling of these

deductions, companies can significantly lower the cost associated with manual processing, redirecting resources to more strategic initiatives.
