Meet the Deductions You Didn’t Know You Had

Some deductions scream for your attention. Others? They sneak in like background noise.
It’s the sneaky ones that do the most damage.
Take shortage claims. Or returns deducted twice. Or pricing errors on a single SKU that ripple across your entire catalog. These aren’t always visible in your standard reporting tools. They may not show up as traditional deductions—they’re hiding in line items or coded under something vague.
Imagine this fictional scenario: A natural skincare brand called “GlowRoot” sees steady sales growth at a major retailer. But despite moving units, their margins are shrinking. After months of confusion, they bring in outside help. They had $180,000 in invalid shortage claims spread out over two years—never flagged, never disputed.
They just… didn’t know.
That’s what makes deduction recovery tricky. You can’t fix what you don’t see. And if you don’t have a team trained to spot the weird stuff—cross-category deductions, duplications, invalid compliance fees—you’re leaving money behind.
Think you’ve caught every deduction? Let HRG double-check. It might surprise you what’s still in the books.
