What is a Code 69 Deduction?

Walmart's Deduction Code 69 represents a financial deduction against an invoice from a supplier. This deduction happens when the Grocery Billback Allowance promised in a supplier's Online Supplier Agreement (OSA) or co-op agreement is not fulfilled. In essence, it is a process for recovery that Walmart uses to reclaim the expected amounts when the allowance terms are not met.
