WHAT HAPPENS TO MARGIN ON A LONG CONTRACT
Your price is fixed at bid, off an assumed supplier cost build, and then it runs for the term. It runs the other way when the market falls, which is why the answer is not always bad news.


Identify · the desk exercise
Both sets of contracts read together, so you can see where the margin the price was set to deliver has moved, on the customer side and the supplier side.
Read both sides
Your customer contracts and your supplier contracts together, the index each names and its reset date.
Rank it
The savings and the margin exposures against customer contracts, largest first.
Price the next one
The buffer each price needs so the margin holds.
Track and recover
It confirms step 1 against what was actually invoiced.
Check both sides
The supplier invoices you paid against the supplier contracts, and what you billed against your customer contracts.
Trace every finding
To the contract page and the line.
Get the difference back both ways
Suppliers repay, and revenue never billed comes in.


Protect · includes steps 1 and 2
The rules are written on what steps 1 and 2 showed. Before the next commitment, the Commercial Control Layer reads the supplier contracts, the customer commitments, the pricing and the cost movements together, and puts a number on the margin exposure across the term.
See where margin moves
Index movements, reset periods, caps and contract terms, on both sides.
Simulate the term first
Run a policy in shadow, with nothing enforced.
Control the decision
Approve, renegotiate or block on the economics behind the commitment.
