Kroger Code CD: Cash discount deduction.
Kroger Code CD (grouped under numeric Code 8: Net Dollar Difference) represents an early-payment cash discount deducted from your remittance. It is disputable if your vendor terms are strictly Net (0% discount), if the cash discount was already deducted on the invoice, or if Kroger issued payment outside the contracted discount window.
Why Kroger issues Code CD.
- Kroger calculated the discount deadline from the warehouse receipt date (ROG) rather than the invoice date
- Cash discount was taken even though payment cleared well past the discount maturity date
- Double deduction of cash discount
Documents that win.
