What is a Customer Order Discrepancy?

A customer order discrepancy occurs when there is a mismatch between what a customer ordered and what is recorded, processed, shipped, or invoiced. These discrepancies can involve errors in product quantity, item numbers, pricing, delivery dates, shipping addresses, or units of measure.

In B2B environments, where orders are often complex and high-volume, discrepancies can have serious consequences—leading to delays, rework, lost revenue, and damaged customer relationships.

Common Types of Order Discrepancies

• Incorrect item numbers or SKUs
• Wrong quantities ordered or shipped
• Mismatched pricing or discount terms
• Missing or inaccurate delivery information
• Orders not acknowledged or processed in time
• Errors in unit of measure or packaging format

Why It Matters

Customer order discrepancies increase the cost to serve and erode trust. They trigger time-consuming exception handling, return logistics, credit memos, and account disputes. When left unresolved or frequent, discrepancies impact profitability and customer loyalty.

Addressing these issues proactively—before they reach fulfillment or invoicing—is critical to ensuring order accuracy and efficiency.
