Navigating the complexities of being a Walmart supplier can be challenging, but knowing where to find help and how to access the right resources can make all the difference. Whether you need to resolve issues with Retail Link, understand your OTIF performance, or get assistance with Walmart Scintilla, this guide provides you with the tools and contacts you need to quickly address your concerns.

Submitting a Ticket to Walmart Support Team 

One way to find the help you need is through the ticketing system provided by
Walmart’s support team
. This system offers a variety of categories to assist you with specific issues, making it a versatile way to get support.

Common Reason Codes for Ticket Submission

When submitting a ticket, you can select from several reason codes that best describe your issue. 

Submit a question to Walmart Support Team

  • Invoice Status 
  • Back Up Request
  • General Inquiries 
  • Pay From Receipt Disputes
  • SQEP Questions 
  • OTIF US
  • High Radius Disputes 
  • High Radius Backup Request
  • APDP Missing Claims 
  • Important Supplier Links
  • APDP 
  • Invoice Submission
  • Post Paymit Audit 
  • Goods not for resale - IP2P
  • Goods not for resale - Coupa 
  • Goods not for resale - Direct Commerce
  • Goods not for resale - Arbia Buylt

For example, if you click on the reason code “Invoice Status,” a pop-up will provide additional information regarding potential errors you may be inquiring about.

If the information provided by the pop-up does not resolve your issue, you can continue with submitting a ticket. The system will guide you through the specific information required to complete your submission.

Walmart Supplier Help

Another way to find help is by utilizing Walmart’s Supplier Help Portal. To receive assistance you will need to log in to your Retail Link account. Once logged in, click on the Support Tab located in the top left section of the page.

Once in the Support section, choose the type of help you need. The options include areas like drop ship, warehouses, stores, Sam’s Club, or direct imports.

After selecting your area of interest, such as drop ship, you will see a list of categories to further specify your issue. Categories might include EDI, item, payments, Retail Link, and returns. Select the category most suited to your needs.

For example, if you choose “items,” you will be directed to more specific areas like brand ownership, item maintenance, item setup, and activity manager.

The more you follow the trail the more focused the area of help gets.

Once you reach the final section, a list of help articles relevant to your specific issue will be presented.

If you cannot find the answer in the help articles, you can open a case. Look for the option to email support at the bottom of thevarticle pages.

By following these steps, you can systematically narrow down your issue and find the most relevant resources or contact points. Each category offers detailed articles, contact information, or the option to create a case, ensuring you can get the support you need to resolve your issues.

Contact Information for Walmart Apps 

While ticket support links are available, having specific contact information can be incredibly helpful for addressing common issues. Here are some key contacts to assist you when dealing with OTIF and SQEP.

OTIF Support 

If you have questions or need support regarding OTIF, several resources
are available:

OTIF Scorecard

To monitor your performance and understand any charges related to OTIF, use the OTIF Scorecard available in Retail Link. This tool provides detailed insights into your OTIF metrics.

  •  Path: Retail Link > Apps > OTIF Scorecard

Disputes

In the event of discrepancies in your OTIF charges, you can file
disputes through High Radius.

SQEP Support

There is a separate SQEP Dashboard in the Retail Link Apps page where SQEP compliance, PO accuracy, and performance results can be viewed.

  • Path: Retail Link > Academy > Ordering & Replenishment
    > Shipping, Routing > Walmart.com Packaging & Labeling

To review the FixIt Inspections Quick Reference Guide:

  • Path: Retail Link > Academy > GETTING STARTED > Supply
    Chain Compliance Programs > Supplier Quality Excellence Program (SQEP) >
    Resources > Fixit Quick Reference Guide
  • See the chatbox in FIXit for clarifying questions on an individual FIXit ticket. This can be helpful for resolving invalid SQEP fines, but suppliers tend to find success with this chatbox only if they have one very
    specific and detailed question. Suppliers are likely only to get one response
    per ticket. 

For SQEP Support, submit a question to Walmart’s support team

For all ASN support, reach out to EDI Help Desk:

  • Call (479) 273-8888 
  • Use the Supplier Self-Service Tool through Retail Link > Apps > Supplier Self
    Service
