Home Depot Deduction Types, Remittance List, and Contact Information

6 min read

At Home Depot, there are a variety of deduction types that show up on remittance with coded identifiers. Keeping track of lost revenue at Home Depot requires a thorough knowledge of these identifier codes in order to track and solve larger issues.

This document is designed to bring alignment around the deduction types, remittance lists, the departments responsible for those deductions, and the contacts that are most relevant for resolving larger issues.

This list was adapted from the Home Depot Charbeback Deduction Contact List to help Home Depot suppliers find the right person for the job and better understand their deductions. It is broken down by deduction type, and each deduction type contains one or more sets of identifiers/contacts.
