Code 73: Duplicate Payment

What is Deduction Code 73?

Code 73s are Accounts Receivable claims filed when Walmart has made multiple payments for the same goods/POs. Walmart is demanding payment from the vendor to reverse the additional payments they made.

How to Prevent Valid Code 73s

Since a valid code 73 is the result of a mistake by Walmart, there is not much that a supplier can do to prevent it. 

Can Code 73s be Disputed?
