Amazon: ASN accuracy chargeback
What this deduction means
Amazon's ASN Accuracy chargeback measures the ship-notice (ASN) data sent via EDI against what is physically received at the fulfillment center. It is charged each time Amazon receives no ASN, or an ASN whose contents do not match the receipt.
Typical penalty: A per-unit or per-shipment fee set by Amazon's vendor terms
Common causes
- No ASN sent via EDI before the shipment arrives
- ASN quantities or items do not match what is received
- ASN transmitted late relative to delivery
How to prevent Amazon's ASN accuracy chargeback
- Send an accurate EDI 856 for every shipment before it arrives
- Reconcile ASN contents to the physical shipment before transmit
- Automate ASN generation from the actual pick/pack data
