Interface VarianceReason

List of defect types associated with the variance. These represent root cause classifications for the variance. Possible values for PPV (Purchase Price Variance): * DEALBUY: Amazon raised discounted POs at vendor-accepted discount costs, but the vendor invoiced at regular costs. * PRODUCT_COST_NOT_ACTIVE: Vendor is using a cost that is not currently active; it may be pending approval or is a historical cost. * PRODUCT_COST_NOT_REGISTERED: Vendor is using a cost that is not registered in Amazon's system, often due to offline negotiations not yet updated. * VENDOR_LOWERING_COST_AT_PO_CONFIRMATION: Vendor confirmed the PO at a lower cost but invoiced at a different (higher) amount. * CCOGS_PRICE_PROTECTION_AGREEMENT_PPA: A Price Protection clause in the vendor's Terms and Conditions agreement applies to this ASIN. * FALSE_CCOGS_PPA: Invoiced cost exceeded the confirmed PO cost due to a cost price adjustment by Amazon, likely from a previous cost decrease within the same period. * AMAZON_POC_LOWERING_COST_ON_PO: Amazon's systems reduced the cost price for this ASIN post PO confirmation, most likely due to a previous cost price decrease or on request. * REJECTED_PRICE_INCREASE_ON_PO: Vendor submitted a cost price increase that was denied, but still invoiced at the increased cost. * LIST_PRICE_DISCOUNT_ISSUES: The List Price on the PO and invoice do not match, or the Discount code on the PO does not match the invoice. * ROUNDING_ISSUES: Price variance caused by foreign exchange currency conversion or decimal place rounding differences. * OTHER: Defect type not belonging to a predefined category. Possible values for PQV (Purchase Quantity Variance): * UNRECOGNISED_ASIN: The ASIN on the invoice is not recognized or does not match Amazon's records. * OVERBILLING: The invoiced quantity exceeds the quantity received or expected by Amazon. * DUPLICATE_INVOICE_DEFECT: The invoice is a duplicate of a previously submitted invoice. * DELETED_APPOINTMENT: The delivery appointment associated with this shipment was deleted. * NO_APPOINTMENT: No delivery appointment was found for this shipment. * SHORTAGES_IN_TRANSIT: Quantity shortages detected during transit — fewer units arrived than were shipped. * ASIN_MISMATCH: Amazon's systems received an ASIN with a different cost than the one ordered on the PO, possibly due to incorrect smart-matching or cross-matching. * FEED_DEFECTS: Vendor's price feed contains defects such as unrecognized UPC/EAN codes or incorrect supplier IDs for multi-supplier updates. * REJECTED_LINE_ITEM_ON_PO: Vendor confirmed this PO line item as Rejected or On-hold but still shipped the products. * FAILED_PO_CONFIRMATION: Vendor's latest PO confirmation message for this line item failed processing and was not translated correctly. * OTHER: Defect type not belonging to a predefined category.
