Primary public research source: view source. CertaRelay does not claim this public list supersedes the retailer's current portal or supplier documentation.

What to investigate

Code recognition is only the first step.

The real recovery question is whether the charge matches the underlying transaction, agreement and supporting evidence.

Transaction match

Find the invoice, PO, shipment, promotion or other transaction tied to the deduction.

Evidence strength

Determine whether the documentation actually supports the position you would submit.

Timing

Verify the current retailer deadline before spending time on a claim.

Find the deductions worth recovering.

Start with a historical deduction or remittance export. CertaRelay investigates the data, builds the evidence, and manages recovery.
