The problem
Distributors take deductions before they pay you. One UNFI payment shows how much can go missing.
Invoiced less deducted is what arrived: $100,000.00 − $13,430.00 = $86,570.00.
Finding out which means checking the charge against your records. Shortages, promotions, pricing and compliance fees each need their own proof. Here is one shortage.
UNFI says cases were short.
The cases billed on the order.
The proof of delivery shows every case signed for.
The claim and the delivery record disagree, so this charge can be disputed.
At a 20% margin, 4% of revenue is 20% of profit.
Illustration: $10M annual revenue, 20% margin before deductions, costs unchanged, nothing recovered.
