Walgreens Code DM-RET: Return to Vendor (RTV) / reclamation center debit memo (DM-RET).
Walgreens Code DM-RET is a deduction for customer returns, expired goods, or damaged merchandise processed through Walgreens reclamation centers. It is disputable if your contract includes a Defective Merchandise Allowance (Destroy-in-Field) or if return counts are inaccurate.
Why Walgreens issues Code DM-RET.
- Store returns processed through reclamation centers and billed back to the vendor
- Return deduction taken despite an active Defective Allowance in the Walgreens Vendor Agreement
- Return center billed back more units than physically delivered back to the supplier
Documents that win.
- Signed Walgreens Vendor Agreement showing Defective Allowance / Destroy-in-Field terms
- Reclamation claim report and carrier POD from receiving dock
- Original PO/Invoice proving wholesale cost
