1 Definition

This chargeback occurs when you ship more units than Amazon originally ordered in the PO.

2 What triggers it & how to prevent it Final composition for this type

overage units100% COGS
Overage — Amazon pays for more units than it ordered, then recovers the excess Amazon action Vendor action baseline: ordered Ordered Amazon (PO) Confirmed Vendor (EDI 855) Shipped + ASN Vendor (EDI 856) Invoiced Vendor (EDI 810) Paid Amazon overage units · 100% COGS How it is calculated: the difference between the submitted (ordered) and the invoice-paid quantities. Baseline is the ordered quantity — not the confirmed quantity that PO Not Filled measures against. Amazon pays the vendor invoice first, then recovers 100% of COGS for the units above the ordered quantity. No exceptions — 100% compliance with the ordered PO quantity is required
✕ What triggers it
  • Paid quantity is greater than the submitted (ordered) quantity
  • Submitted, ASN, and invoiced quantities do not match, and paid quantity > submitted quantity
  • Shipping and invoicing without confirming the PO — since 2025-06-09 this is treated as 100% overage
How can Amazon pay more than it ordered? Amazon Accounts Payable pays the vendor invoice (EDI 810) first; this chargeback is how Amazon then recovers 100% of the cost for the units above the ordered quantity.

How it is calculated : Difference between submitted (ordered) and invoice-paid quantities.

✓ How to prevent it
  • Confirm and ship the quantity submitted in your PO
  • If using EDI 855, send confirmations before the ASN, confirming only what you intend to ship
  • Ensure ASN (EDI 856) quantities match exactly what you confirmed and will ship
  • Submit one accurate invoice per PO-ASIN (EDI 810 or Vendor Central) — duplicates cause payment delays and chargebacks
  • Never ship more than the submitted quantity
Returns continue to follow the negotiated vendor returns terms stated in the Vendor Terms and Conditions; Amazon may reach out to negotiate returns on overstock inventory on a case-by-case basis.
