COMPENSATED_CLAWBACK

Reverse Reimbursement

Reverse Reimbursement or Compensated Clawback charges are noted when an Inventory Reimbursement item is reversed and taken back by Amazon. This scenario can happen if a lost inventory within Amazon warehouse is found or reported inventory missing from the inbound process is found. Clawback is when Amazon takes back ("claws back") the money that they paid you as a reimbursement before.

CRETURN_WRONG_ITEM

Customer Return - Wrong Item

If the customer returns a wrong item after requesting refund, then the refund amount is reimbursed to the FBA Seller. For FBM Sellers, they would need to report the issue through SAFE-T claim to get a reimbursement.
CRETURN_WRONG_ITEM is a reimbursement, issued to you by Amazon on FBA orders, when a customer returns a wrong item to the Amazon warehouse after a refund. When a customer returns the item back to Amazon, but it's not the item he purchased, Amazon assumes that he did not return the item and charges the customer for it, reimbursing you at the same time.
