Description
A deduction (or violation, if it is still in its 2-week exemption window) for an order that has either arrived late, in the case of prepaid, or was picked up late in the case of pickup/collect orders.
Target may provide additional detail, such as the following sub-classifications:
P.O. Shipped Late
On Time Arrival (STA) Late Cons
On Time Arrival (STA) Late LTL
On Time Arrival (STA) Late TL
On Time Ship (S_C) Late Cons
On Time Ship (S_C) Late LTL
On Time Ship (S_C) Late TL
SupplyPike's app will group these all as On Time - Late; however, the details of each deduction will show you which of the sub-classifications may be present.
Compliance Goal | Fine |
100% | Pre-August 4, 2024: 5% COGs of all goods received outside the window
Post-August 4, 2024: 3% COGs for all goods received outside the window |
How to dispute invalid On Time - Late deductions
These deductions are disputed through Synergy, just like most other Target deductions. If you're still at the violation stage within the two-week exemption window, you can request an exemption using the contact form at the bottom of each POL page.

Email communication with Target acknowledged ahead of time that an order might be late somehow. Some possible reasons to look out for:
Lead time issues
Order point setup issues
Target requested delivery outside of the acceptable window
Ryder or Docklink appointment pushout (Target DC capacity constraints, holiday closures, scheduling errors, receiving time restrictions, WDS load leveling constraints in case of prepaid)
Target DC capacity constraints
Target did not respond in a timely manner to the item setup issue that was proactively called out.
Supplier requested window/SDA date adjustment, and the email was sent before routing/scheduling, Target did not execute or executed incorrectly
Carrier requests an appointment outside of the original requested date, Target accepts and initiates adjustments to the requested date.
Holiday ship window errors that were proactively communicated to Target
