Walmart Supplier One: Key Finance & Accounting Menus for Deductions, Invoices, and OTIF Charges
8th & Walton's Heather Reid explains how the deductions area helps categorize and analyze chargebacks, shortages, allowances, and returns over customizable timeframes, enabling teams to identify unexpected deductions and, with supporting documentation, submit cases through the Accounts Payable Dispute Portal.
She also highlights Payment History for downloadable check-level detail and Disputes for a visual overview of cases created in the portal. For cashflow reviews, Heather outlines how Paid Invoice, Unpaid Invoice, and 90 Days Paid reports help track recent payments, past-due unpaid invoices, and reconcile purchase orders and payments in a single Excel download.
Finally, she covers using Scorecard, return trends, OTIF trends, and projected charges to anticipate fines and prevent future deductions.
