ABSTRACT:
An automated reconciliation system that permits instantaneous reconciliation of unsold product units. A pull tab, which contains hidden reconciliation data is affixed to a product unit. To reconcile the particular product unit, a vendor removes the pull tab strip thereby defacing and destroying the product unit to expose the reconciliation data needed for entry into a central computer system. Alternatively, concealed reconciliation data may be printed directly on the product or its packaging in a fashion which requires the product to be opened to expose the reconciliation data. Such an opened condition, with a broken seal or opened wrapping, renders the product unsaleable. The automated reconciliation system ensures that unsold product units which receive reconciliation credit and reimbursement are not fraudulently resold.
