Target Code A060: Freight deduction (unauthorized freight or collect on prepaid).
Target Code A060 covers freight-related AP deductions, such as shipping Collect on a Prepaid PO or billing unauthorized freight charges on a merchandise invoice. Unlike standard 18-month AP deductions, Target enforces a strict 9-month deadline on freight disputes.
Why Target issues Code A060.
- A Prepaid PO was routed through Target's carrier network as Collect
- Freight charges were added to a merchandise invoice without buyer approval
- Freight terms on the PO did not match the signed Vendor Agreement
Documents that win.
- Purchase Order and Vendor Agreement proving Collect terms or authorized freight billing
- BOL and paid carrier invoice proving the supplier paid the freight carrier directly
- Written buyer or Target Transportation approval
