Kroger Chargeback Code WV: Wrong vendor
What this deduction means
A WV deduction is assessed when the Supplier ERP ID on a transaction doesn't match the vendor Kroger has on file — a master-data mismatch that misroutes invoices or payments.
Typical penalty: Varies; payment delays are the primary cost
Common causes
- Invoicing under an old or wrong vendor number after an entity change
- Multiple ship-from locations mapped to the wrong vendor ID
- Acquisitions or rebrands where the ERP ID was never updated with Kroger
How to prevent Kroger code WV
- Verify the vendor/ERP ID on every PO matches your active vendor record
- Update Kroger's vendor master immediately after any entity or banking change
- Map each ship-from location to its correct vendor ID in your EDI setup
