Description
A deduction (or violation, if it is still in it's 2 week exemption window) for an EDI 856 ASN transmission that Target thinks they haven't received more than an hour after the in-yard date/timestamp for the associated delivering trailer. This could also be triggered by errors in the EDI transmission that caused the data to not be recorded by Target.
Make sure your EDI team is aware of the requirements for Target's EDI 856 transmissions to prevent most fatal errors. Within POL, search for EDI 856 and check the pages for Defects and Requirements.
Target recommends verifying the following:
The EDI 856 (ASN) was sent
The correct sender/receiver ID was used for Target
A valid MDN/997 was received
No formatting/data errors that could prevent document processing
Compliance Goal | Fine |
100% | 3% COGs of all goods received without an ASN |
How to dispute invalid ASN Missing 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.

Specifically the asn_received_timestamp column. If the column is blank, that is what triggered Target to think they didn't receive an ASN.

Email communication with Target that acknowledged ahead of time any issues with ASNs and Target confirmed whether that would be acceptable
