Code 22: Goods Billed Not Shipped (Shortage)

The most common and most winnable deduction โ€” frequently a DC check-in error. Walmart rejects carrier-generated delivery reports; you need the actual signed POD.

Should you dispute it?

Yes, when your documents support it. With proper evidence, 60% is a reasonable planning win rate for this code โ€” and first disputes across all codes win ~74% of the time.

Deadline

12 months from invoice date. Supplier Action requests auto-close after 7 days; drafts expire in 14 days.

Evidence that wins code 22

  • Signed BOL
  • Carrier-signed POD (not a carrier report)
  • Packing list
  • Invoice
