What is a Code 64 Deduction?

A Code 64 deduction, which has to do with Early Shipment, occurs when suppliers deliver their goods earlier than the scheduled ship window specified on the purchase order. Early delivery may disrupt Walmart's supply chain operations, leading to this specific deduction on the supplier's invoice. 

Disputing Invalid Code 64 Deductions

If it is suspected that a Code 64 deduction has been wrongly applied, it is important to refer to your Co-Op agreement available in Retail Link. The representative who approved the deduction is the best possible contact; their information can be found under the supplier contact field. The invoice number attached to the deduction corresponds to the Co-Op number. Your representative should have documentation in order to verify and dispute the deduction if found appropriate.
