What is a Supplier Agreement?
The Supplier Agreement is a business contract between a vendor and Walmart. Supplier agreements include general supplier information, terms of shipping, terms of payment, discounts or allowances, returned merchandise, and other information. Uploading your Supplier Agreement to Deductions Navigator allows us to be able to match corresponding Supplier Agreements to allowance deductions. When you upload your Supplier Agreement, we will ask for the specific allowances listed on the document so we can make a judgment on validity.
Where can you find your Supplier Agreement?
The Supplier Agreement is found under your profile in Retail Link.
Log into Retail Link.
Click on your profile icon in the upper right-hand corner.
From the dropdown menu, click on "My Agreements".
You may see "Walmart.com Owned", "Walmart Owned", or both. Click on one of them.
Click on "Sign An Agreement", which is NOT signing an agreement, it's just the location of the agreement(s) that was/were already signed.
You will see one or more agreements, and to the far right side the active agreements will say "ACTIVE".
Select "View/Edit" or "Download PDF" to download each agreement.
Back out to the previous page and repeat these steps in other Walmart divisions if applicable.
How do you upload your Supplier Agreement to Deductions Navigator: Walmart?
In the top right corner of Deductions Navigator, you will navigate to the Supplier Settings page.
From here, click on the Supplier Agreement section and upload all Supplier Agreements here.
Fill out the specific department number and sequence number that is listed as the 9-digit vendor number on your Supplier Agreement. The format of the 9-digit number is as follows: 6-digit Vendor Number, 2-digit department number, and single-digit sequence number.
Enter the Effective Date. This is the date found at the top right-hand corner of the Supplier Agreement and is very important because it specifies the exact date when the agreement became binding. Our deductions app will only attach a Supplier Agreement to a deduction if it falls within the effective date of the agreement.
It is important that you fill out ALL allowances listed on your supplier agreement doc. Failure to do so will result in incorrect validity judgements for these deductions.
If you have no allowances listed, check the box below the entry fields. This will account for times when Walmart deducts for allowances that were never agreed upon per your Supplier Agreement.
What Codes will your Supplier Agreement help with?
By uploading Supplier Agreements and stating the allowances given on the Supplier Agreements, we are able to give a validity judgment on codes 42, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 67, 68, 69, 70, 150, 151.
In addition to this, we are able to automatically attach the applicable Supplier Agreement (by department) to deductions with the following codes: 10, 42, 44, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 60, 67, 68, 69, 70, 80, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 150, 151.
