Lowe's Chargeback Code DT: Shortage
What this deduction means
Lowe's receives fewer units than the invoice bills for, and the shortfall is booked as a DT deduction. Lowe's also enforces a 98% fill rate: SKU quantities not received at the destination draw an offset on the value of the missing items.
Typical penalty: Value of unreceived items; fill-rate shortfalls below 98% carry a 10% offset on items not received
Common causes
- Short shipments never corrected on the invoice
- Cartons lost in transit or miscounted at the DC
- ASN quantities that don't match the physical shipment
How to prevent Lowe's code DT
- Invoice from actual shipped quantities and reconcile against the signed BOL
- Track fill rate by PO against Lowe's 98% requirement
- Match the 856 ASN to the physical load before the truck departs
