Introduction
SupplyPike wants to help suppliers better understand the dollars that are being lost to Post Audits, the reasons for these audits, and any paybacks. This visibility is otherwise unavailable in retailer portals, and provides a detailed picture of revenue loss and recovery into these large charges. This new visibility to another Revenue Loss type also helps solidify SupplyPike as a complete view into your total Walmart business.
Finding Your Post Audits
You can find your Walmart post audits for the selected 6-digit vendor on the left side of your screen, similar to OTIF/SQEP and Billable Overages.
Post Audits Page
This page provides visibility into the post audits you've received in the timeframe of your data since starting with SupplyPike, along with some high-level details. Only Post Audits that have been deducted from a check will appear here.
Post audit details include claim code, audit year, check information, amount deducted, and recovered amount.
Filtering and Exporting
You can filter the list view using the Audit Date or even the Code that has been assigned. Once you have filtered down to the post audits you’d like to see and share, the "Export Post Audits" button will provide you with a CSV file with the pertinent information you need.

FAQ
How can I dispute these post audit deductions?
Currently, there is no capability to dispute post audits from the SupplyPike app since the process involves direct email correspondence with the auditor. However, you can talk with your Customer Success Manager to learn more about how we can help you research and dispute these! Read more about our separate service here.
