Inducement (NY)
New York's prohibition on vendor-funded promotions, rebates, credits and paid vendor days between licensees. BudAlly's rule RI-NY-06 blocks vendor-credit reports for NY retail licenses.
Why it matters for reconciliation: a vendor credit is computed from units the state system proves were sold, but whether the credit may be raised at all depends on the state. Checking the rule before the number is drafted keeps a calculation from being turned into a document that should not exist.
Example: the same brand-funded promotion produces a draft credit report for a Michigan store, which is allowed on uniform terms, while the identical request for a New York retail license is blocked by rule RI-NY-06 and never reaches the approval queue as a credit.
