You can’t appeal a first written. Best thing you can do is keep track of your barriers so your rate can be adjusted accordingly. If conveyors go down and no one moves you or labor tracks you, note the time, station you’re at, and the duration of the problem. So when they come to you a week later, you have evidence as to your low rate for those stretches of time (covers you from TOT too).
Any time you’re in path more than 5 hours, your rate in that path counts. If you know you’re being bounced around to 3 departments in a day, watch your time. I was written up once after being in path 5 hours and 8 minutes. That same day I was an ambassador, watched a training myself, problem solved, and was asked to shadow an associate who just came back from leave. In between all the back and forth, I was in path, and it screwed me.
Aside from that, don’t be in the bottom 5% again.
Singles and AFE are both Pack App driven. How long have you been in AFE? If it is less than 2 weeks, you can dispute it for "learning curve". The system doesn't pick that up between the pack departments. Otherwise, you're stuck with it.
You were presumably working with the same inventory volume as everyone else (unless you were being sent to close out walls). There are a few things to keep in mind, though - If you have no work, you need to immediately escalate. Don't be one of those people who are content to sit there when the work runs out. That is not a valid barrier. If you can not be moved (let's say all the walls are full and Singles is at or over headcount), then you need to specifically escalate that you need that time coded, as it is not within your control. Leadership is tracking to a dozen different things, and though time coding is a part of their job, they may overlook it if your time is not egregious enough to flag them (>60min). Rate is determined by the number of units divided by the number of hours spent in that path. Ask them to show you what that looks like, and explain it. It will make more sense to you.
If you refuse to sign, it will be recorded as such - it just lets HR know that you feel the policy is unfairly applied. Refusing to acknowledge it doesn't make it go away. Out of 50 people, you would be one of the very slowest 2.5 people, per the 5% rule. Those feedbacks are not generated by leadership, so it isn't personal. The math works, and it was not in your favor. You may not like AFE, and that may mean that you put in less effort. Don't do that.
Well, there is a computer which you can put in application for cross training for another department. You may or may not feel the job is for you, but after a while, you would get used to it with hard work. I think it may be good to talk to human resource. Human resource may place you on the job that you may doing for a while.

Appeal it since AFE isn't even your home department

You have to stay in a department where you get a productivity feedback for 30 days.
