What is DIFOT?

DIFOT means delivered in full, on time. In practice, it is a retailer scorecard that asks two questions. Did the full ordered quantity arrive? Did it arrive inside the booked receiving window? When the score drops, a deduction usually follows. That is where the supplier needs the evidence, not the definition.

Definition

DIFOT is a compliance measure for supply execution, not a legal conclusion. Retailers often use it to trigger deductions when a shipment looks short, late, or both.

What changes the result

The headline phrase is stable, but the measure underneath can vary: order-level versus line-level scoring, gate-in time versus dock time, and different rules for split deliveries or substitutions.

Supplier-side view

When a DIFOT penalty appears, the first job is to check the scorecard line against your own PO, ASN, POD, booked window, and timestamp trail. That is evidence work, not abstract KPI debate.
