Dollar General Code DG-RECLAM: Reclamation center return & unsaleable goods deduction.
Dollar General Reclamation Center Return Deductions charge back suppliers for damaged, expired, or customer-returned goods processed through Dollar General reclamation centers. They are disputable if your contract includes a Defective Merchandise Allowance or if return counts are inaccurate.
Why Dollar General issues Code DG-RECLAM.
- Store returns processed through reclamation centers and billed back to vendor
- Return deduction taken despite an active Defective Allowance in Dollar General Vendor Agreement
- Reclamation center billed back more units than physically delivered back to supplier
