Description
A weekly roll-up deduction of all Target Stores for returned defective goods and potentially destroyed per the Return Policy agreement. There is no PO/Invoice number associated with this type of deduction.
These deductions often do not come with an assigned reason code, and to show them in our app, we've given them a generic 'Other Defective' code.
Common Ways it is Invalid
Incorrect item or not assigned to the correct vendor
Incorrect return policy used
Incorrect cost used in the deduction
