Critical Chargeback & Import Pitfalls We Prevent
Common EDI mistakes that trigger $250+ retailer fines or accounting balance errors
Dropping SDQ Store Allocations When Importing to WMS
Risk: $250+ Cross-Dock FineShipping bulk unallocated pallets when the 850 contains SDQ store splits results in manual sorting fees at the retailer DC.
Misinterpreting SAC05 Promotional Allowances
Risk: 810 Invoice RejectionSAC05 uses N2 implied decimals ("2500" = $25.00). Ignoring it causes your invoice total to mismatch the PO.
Shipping Outside DTM*037 and DTM*038 Windows
Risk: OTIF Fine (3% of PO Value)Delivering before DTM*037 (Ship Not Before) or after DTM*038 (Cancel Date) triggers automatic On-Time In-Full deductions.
