2024 Release Notes
2024 Release Notes
Release Notes - August 26, 2024
For codes where Kroger requires specific documents to submit a dispute, SupplyPike will now callout the required documents and only allow disputing if all required documents are attached. Use the readiness filter to easily see which deductions are ready to dispute & which ones need further documentation!
New List View buckets launched with the goal to help suppliers effectively manage and prioritize deductions to ensure suppliers go after every dollar they're owed!
The updated List View buckets are consistent across retailers in SupplyPike.
For more information on the new buckets, please read this announcement.
To reduce workflow complexity, we are sunsetting the 'Will Not Dispute' status. The 'Will Not Dispute'/'Enable Dispute Actions' buttons will be updated to instead show the options to 'Archived'/'Unarchive'.
Archived deductions will show under the All and Resolved list views of the Deductions page.
Easily filter to see Archived or Unarchived deductions under "More Filters" on the Resolved and All list view tabs.
Archived deductions will display in the 'Closed' bar on the Deductions by Status graph within the Kroger Dashboard.
Deductions less than $100 will now be auto-archived and immediately moved to the Resolved tab with the removal of the 'Will Not Dispute' status.
Release Notes - June 28, 2024
The time for 'Kroger data last synced at' now displays the last time SupplyPike checked for new data from Kroger, whether new data was found or not. All your data in SupplyPike should reflect what was available from Kroger at that time!
Release Notes - March 13, 2024
Freshened up the charts on the dashboard. Deductions by Status, Deductions by Amount, and the trended chart now match style with our other apps. The Deductions Over Time chart is especially nice from a color and function standpoint. Go take a look to see your trends!
Release Notes - February 26, 2024
We updated the filters on the dashboard to be “sticky”. Now as you scroll down, the Date filter (and a future Code filter like our other apps) follows you down the page. No more scrolling back up to adjust filters as you view the aggregated charts.

2022 Release Notes
2022 Release Notes
Release notes - December 19, 2022
SupplyPike wants you to be able to recover every invalid deduction possible, but we realize that you may not want to dispute valid deductions. Now, you can automatically archive certain Kroger deduction codes so that these codes go straight to your Archived or All Deductions tab, and never appear in your Actionable list. This may be useful on Promotional Allowances or Collect Pickup Allowances if you or your team never disputes them.
Learn more here about Auto Archive.Now, you can set custom default claim descriptions for each major claim type, so that new deductions of that type have the default dispute description entered automatically with your custom default.
For example, if you wish to dispute shortage deductions with the same claim description each time, you can set this up in advance in your Settings, and it will automatically be applied to all future shortage deductions.
Learn more about Default Claim Descriptions.Resolved an issue where a claim for a different deduction code on the same invoice was showing on the Deduction Details page in certain scenarios.

Additional ORAD compliance charges are now being pulled in to SupplyPike related to Late Shipments or Case Fill Fines.
Release notes - July 19th, 2022
Performance was improved on the Deductions list page to load deductions faster.
A default claim type is now supplied for ORAD - Late Shipment, ORAD - Case Fill Fine, and Code 8 deduction types, so you no longer have to manually select one.
Now, overage deductions (code 7s) will be automatically netted against code 6 shortage deductions to create a net deduction, so the deduction and any dispute will be accurate to the final deduction amount between these 2 codes. Read more here.
Comments added to a claim from SupplyPike will now show as "Submitting" while they are being submitted to Lavante, and updated to a date & time when confirmed as submitted.
Release notes - June 27th, 2022

Release notes - June 8th, 2022
SupplyPike will now tell you when you dispute one shortage code if there is another shortage code on the same invoice with the ability to combine them into one dispute. Lavante limits suppliers to one pending invoice of the same claim type at a time, so we recommend disputing shortage codes together into one dispute.
You can now view and dispute ORAD compliance charges in SupplyPike! These include ORAD - Late Delivery, ORAD - Case Fill Fine, and other similar compliance charges. These will be shown on the Dashboard, Deduction list view, and the Details page where you can view details such as DC, arrival date, due date, fill rate, and more.
