Target Code A070: Duplicate invoice / duplicate billing deduction.
Target Code A070 is issued when Target's AP system or post-audit team identifies what appears to be a duplicate invoice payment for the same PO and shipment. It is disputable when you have two distinct PODs/BOLs proving two separate shipments were delivered.
