Target Code A080: Cash discount variance.
Target Code A080 means Target deducted a cash discount (early pay discount) that differed from your invoice terms or was taken based on Receipt of Goods (ROG) timing. It is disputable if Target paid outside the ROG discount window or if your Vendor Agreement specifies Net terms.
Why Target issues Code A080.
- Discount window was measured from DC Receipt of Goods (ROG) rather than the supplier's invoice date
- Vendor Agreement includes a cash discount percentage that was omitted from the invoice
- Payment was issued after the discount expiration date
Documents that win.
- Signed Target Vendor Agreement confirming payment terms
- POD showing the exact delivery/receipt date at the Target DC
- Remittance advice showing payment date vs. receipt date
