What the common codes on a UNFI/KeHE commission statement actually mean, whether they should touch your commission base, and the one-line angle to dispute each.
An automated retailer chargeback. Often set at a multiple of your real exposure — we routinely see it at 3× the trailing-12 baseline for a retailer.
Legitimate once. The leak is when the same fee appears on two consecutive statements for the same PO.
Usually valid, but verify it matches contract terms and isn't double-counted with a return.
A deduction whose code isn't in the principal's published dictionary. Sometimes a typo, sometimes a fee with no basis.
Valid against an agreed promo, but check it doesn't exceed the committed scan deal by more than ~15%.
A principal operating expense to get on shelf. It should never reduce the base your commission is paid on — but it often does, quietly costing you ~5%.
Reduces the commission base legitimately — but only when there's a backing promotion. An OI with no documented promo is a red flag.
Per-unit promo reimbursement. Reconcile the rate against the agreed deal — overages happen.
