You Got the PO, You Made the Sale—So Where’s the Money?

You did the hard part.
You pitched the buyer. Landed the PO. Got your product on the truck, invoiced correctly, and watched it hit the shelves. Victory, right?
Not quite.
Because what looked like a $500,000 invoice often turns into a $462,000 payment—or less. And the kicker? Many suppliers don’t even realize it happened.
It’s the Margin Drain No One Talks About
Retailers deduct before they pay. If they spot what they think is a labeling error, late shipment, or promotion shortfall, they’ll take a deduction before your team can blink—no phone call, no courtesy email, just less money hitting your account.
And it adds up. A study of CPG suppliers found that, on average, 6% of invoice value is lost to deductions annually. For a $20M brand, that’s $1.2M walking out the door.
