Target Code VC-ASN: Late, missing, or inaccurate EDI 856 ASN compliance chargeback.
Target assesses an ASN Vendor Compliance chargeback when the EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice is not received prior to the shipment arriving at the Target DC, or when the ASN data does not match the physical SSCC-18 pallet/carton labels. These fines have a strict 90-day dispute window.
Why Target issues Code VC-ASN.
- Warehouse shipped the trailer before transmitting the EDI 856 ASN, so the ASN arrived after DC gate-in
- EDI 856 rejected due to an invalid DPCI or carton pack mismatch and wasn't resent in time
- Physical GS1-128 labels on the cartons did not match the SSCC-18 numbers in the EDI 856
Documents that win.
- EDI 856 transmission log and EDI 997 functional acknowledgment showing timestamp prior to DC arrival
- Signed POD showing physical gate-in time occurred after the EDI 997 acceptance timestamp
- Greenfield ASN accuracy report from Partners Online
