ASN Accuracy violations started being assessed on May 4, 2025
Description
A deduction (or violation, if it's still in its 2-week exemption window) for cartons not received with a legible, scannable barcode at Target for a given appointment. All cartons received by Target must be able to pass through their Automated Receiving Technology (ART) to assist with accurate receiving. There are two types of barcode errors:
No Barcode - no barcode was found on the carton by ART
No Data - the barcode scanned by ART was not found in the corresponding data
Compliance Goal | Fine |
100% | $0.75 per carton with barcode errors
Minimum fine of $100 |
How to dispute Physical Barcode Accuracy deductions
These deductions are disputed through Synergy, just like most other Target deductions. If you're still at the violation stage within the 2-week exemption window, the contact form at the bottom of each POL page can be used to request an exemption.
