Can you rephrase this sentence?
Especially, the latter part. What does he mean by "reverse the sale with a return or a credit for a price drop"? That they take the equipments back and give them money or credit as a compensation?
Computer suppliers would sell tons of equipment to their distributors,
often to turn around and reverse the sale with a return or a credit for a price
drop somewhere down the line.

It sounds to me like a familiar marketing problem. The sales numbers are not final because 1) some of the "sold" equipment is returned or 2) some of the customers later receive credit because of a price guarantee (if the equipment goes on sale after they buy it, they get a rebate of some kind). Either action will reduce how much money the suppliers make for selling their equipment.

- Here is a more complete wording of your sentence: Computer suppliers who sell tons of equipment to their distributors often have to turn around and reverse some of the sales when equipment is returned or else they must offer their customers a credit because of a price drop.
