De-Authorize UPC

If your distributorship does not carry an item authorized to one or more of the stores you service, and you do not wish to swap it for a replacement item (or if a suitable replacement is not available), you can request to de-authorize the UPC from your distributorship and stores.  

The request is submitted as an online proposal to the MillerCoors Walmart Pricing Team. Once received, MillerCoors can accept or reject the de-authorization.  

If accepted, no further steps are necessary.  

If rejected, this appears on the UPC Authorization Error Resolution screen, after which you can look again for a "swap" item, submit another de-authorization request, or contact the MillerCoors for Walmart Account Team at walmartpricing@millercoors.com.

 

Follow these steps:

 

  1. Find and choose the Item

  2. Find and select the Store(s)
