Be sure to ask these important and timely questions regarding Sysco’s announcement to deduct all payments owed for supplier chargebacks. The policy will be effective July 1.
- What is the dispute process for collecting repayment of unauthorized deductions? What is the expected timing relative to collection of unauthorized deduction dollars?
- Relative to timing, will the operator claims for June POD submitted the first week of July be the first period that will be deducted? If not, what is the timing/POD month?
- Currently net pricing for category awards are executed off invoice. Will the new policy effect those transactions?
- The majority of our trade allowances are passed along off invoice. Will the new policy effect those transactions?
- When a Sysco location purchases through Dot Foods, how will this new process function?
- What is the expected latency between the purchase from Dot and the deduction being taken?
- Will each individual Sysco house deduct for their allowances or will there be one corporate deduction?
- Will food show booth fees and food show allowances also become deductions?
- If a local house specifically requests a check from our organization, how should we respond?
- Does this new policy involve Sygma in any way?
