2026 Release Notes

March 6, 2026

  • The deduction detail document for UNFI deductions is now being included in the files section of each UNFI deduction. This lets you see UNFI's deduction backup document without having to go through email.

  • Added the 'Submitting...' transition phase for disputed deductions so you get a more immediate update that your dispute is on its way.

  • More backend goodies, including some for getting us closer to KeHE support in the app.

  • 3 bugs mushed.

February 20, 2026

  • Made some improvements to how we lookup invoices related to deductions, net you should see more invoices in the files section for deductions if you use SPS for your EDI.

  • Also improved how we're finding locations related to deductions as well as the retailer involved.

  • 2 bugs resolved this sprint. 🐜🥾

  • Improving our backend to support Macy's and Bloomingdale's suppliers that use SPS EDI and receive the 820 for those retailers.

  • Foundation has begun for adding support for KeHE suppliers to our app later this year.

February 6, 2026

  • UNFI email disputing for shortage and pricing deductions is here! We're also working with suppliers to get up to speed on UNFI's just-announced new dispute portal coming soon from Direct Commerce.

  • Our Dashboard is launched! It's now the default page for the app. We do still have it feature flagged and are gradually adding it to users, so be on the lookout for when it's available for you. You can also ask for it directly if you want it sooner.

  • 1 backend bug squashed this sprint 🦟🧹

  • Lots of backend goodies to improve how we handle payments, EDI 820s, and how we're building and showing Kohl's AP deductions

January 23, 2026

  • We've launched visibility for UNFI shortage and pricing deductions! Email disputing coming soon!

  • 4 bugs mashed. 🪳👟

  • Improved our categorization of deduction codes based on the Kohl's AP bot remittance emails.

  • Tweaks to the order things show up in some of filters to hopefully be more useful and intuitive.\

  • On the backend, this release had about twice the number of goodies we normally release, which is all good news for future functionality.

2025 Release Notes

December 26, 2025

  • All Kohl's suppliers will now take advantage of the Kohl's AP Bot process. Previously, we were limiting ourselves to either only using the 820 or the AP Bot. This will mean more granularity on deduction codes, and thus the usefulness of what we can provide around deductions (like what it is and what you should do about it) should go up.

  • Added some more fields to our Order Information box on the details page.

  • More infrastructure to share data across our apps internally so reporting from a single place should be easier in the future.

  • 7 bugs squashed! 👢🐛

December 12, 2025

  • Backend focus this sprint as well. Good things coming for getting more from the Kohl's AP Bot process, UNFI emails, auto-disputing, dashboard charts, and more.

November 28, 2025

  • All backend changes this go-round.

November 14, 2025

  • For SPS EDI customers, we should now be providing PDFs of any invoice that has a deduction

  • Some backend enhancements to improve PO matching logic for Kohl's

  • 2 bugs squashed, more foundation for the Dashboard, and lots of other goodies in the works for UNFI in the future and additional enhancements

October 31, 2025

  • All backend updates this release, and interesting things that they were focused on include:

    • Settings Page

    • Auto Disputing

    • Processing repayments (from won disputes!) from the new AP Bot integration

    • More foundation for our next retailer, UNFI!

  • 1 bug shown the light and led along the path to turn into a useful butterfly.

October 17, 2025

  • We can now use Kohl's new (as of April this year) AP Bot email process to bring in deductions. Previously, we've relied on the EDI 820 document. This has its benefits, and ultimately, we can better serve suppliers by not being reliant on only the 820.

  • Internal upgrades to better support teams around us.

  • More upgrades for invoices, data last synced for dashboard, and 1 bug squashed.

October 3, 2025

  • Majority of this update was focused on backend updates to enable new functionality, correct assumptions that turned out to not be optimal, and squash 2 bugs.

    • Additional work on the dashboard to enable filters when that page is live.

September 19, 2025

  • Backend changes to support suppliers that use Wells Fargo Early Pay for Kohl's, better invoice matching logic to provide invoices more often, and new deduction types enabled. 1 bug squashed.

    • Additional backend support getting ready for our Dashboard!

  • For new shortage deductions, added a cool-down timer to wait 30 days before they're disputable. It's not unusual for Kohl's to quickly repay some shortage deductions they create, and to prevent unnecessary deductions, we're putting a little wait on brand new ones before we allow them to be email-disputed. It's an unusual move, however, we want to make sure Kohl's is only seeing high quality disputes that actually need to be disputed.

September 5, 2025

  • Completed some changes to improve how we work with our shipping document integrations team, which means more proof document matches for you

  • Updated our export with some important columns around repayments

  • Added some in-app links to support articles

  • Added some new date fields on our details page for Kohl's deductions

  • Updated support for trialing suppliers

  • Squashed a few of our first bugs

  • Lots of back-end work going on to support our multi-retailer future

August 22, 2025

  • Added multi-search that our users know and love from the other apps (works for invoices, purchase orders, and deduction numbers)

  • Added more deductions to a non-disputable category, like Kohl's compliance (these go through Traverse, which we do not integrate with). You can still see them, export them, and aggregate and trend them.

  • Majority of this release was on backend enhancements and foundation.

August 8, 2025

  • Lots of behind the scenes changes to improve performance and laying more foundation for important features in the future.

  • Added the Files filter so you can quickly know which deductions have which files or are missing files

  • Kohl's will sometimes repay shortages on their own, and to prevent unnecessary disputes, we added a cool-down timer for freshly received shortages. If they're not repaid within 30 days, they're very likely a good candidate for a dispute if you think they're invalid.

  • Updated our List View to make it easy to see when a deduction has multiple types within it

July 31, 2025

  • Breaking news! Our new Navigator product has been released!

  • Kohl's is the first retailer we're supporting with many more to come.

  • Out of the box, we have:

    • a list view of deductions

    • a detail page for each deduction

    • support for Kohl's process to group and dispute deductions by purchase order number

    • shipping document integration to make sure your deductions have the proof they need when they should be disputed

    • export for all your deductions

    • full visibility to all deduction types

      • For compliance deductions, we'll link you to Kohl's traverse portal to research and dispute more there.

    • Filters to help home in on deductions that need your attention
