UNFI SSA Allowance Change

Effective February 1^st, 2026, UNFI will transition SSA allowance collection from an off‑invoice (Bottom of Invoice) method to a deduction from accounts payable. A single deduction for each region (east and west) will be generated by accounts payable monthly within two weeks of each period close (for prior month’s purchase order receipts), February 2026 example as follows:

• SSA0226ERemit – east
• SSA0226WRemit – west
•  This process does not change the SSA calculation but simplifies the accounting into one deduction per region for cleaner presentation for the backup.  There are NO CHANGES to Promotional, Freight and Spoils allowances. These should continue to be provided as usual.
