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.
    โ€‹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.

  • 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.

Release notes - November 15, 2022

  • An issue was resolved related to bulk disputing stating that the claim type was missing on certain deductions.

Release notes - September 19th, 2022

  • An issue was resolved related to submitting disputes.


Release notes - August 26th, 2022

  • You can now filter your deductions by those that contain all recommended proof documentation with the new Dispute Readiness filter. This filter returns every deduction that has its recommended proof documentation based on the deduction code. This does not indicate if the deduction is valid or not.

  • Now, the Deduction Details page will indicate if you are missing recommended proof document to dispute, based on the code of the deduction and what has already been attached to this deduction.


Release notes - August 11th, 2022

  • 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

  • SupplyPike will now show deductions that are taken without deduction codes. In Lavante, these show up with a "-DM" for Debit Memo at the end of your invoice number, and a negative amount applied to checks. These deductions can be disputed through SupplyPike as well.


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.

  • Updated file size limit to 30 MBs on attachments submitted to Lavante.

  • The deduction code filter in the Deductions list view now includes the deduction code descriptions for better clarity of each code.

  • You can now filter to all deductions with a claim submission failure. Failures can happen if the Lavante access expired or other intermittent Lavante issues. To access this filter in the Deductions list view, click More Filters, then Failed Submissions.

  • It is now possible to bulk dispute Kroger deductions! To start a bulk dispute, go to the Deductions list view, and check any number of deductions or use the Check All box at the top of the deduction list. Once you have Actionable deductions selected, click on Submit Disputes. Deductions will be disputed in Lavante within seconds or minutes of submission from SupplyPike.

Release notes - February 23rd, 2022
