Release Notes - November 19, 2024

  • Contractual deductions that have been marked as 'likely-invalid' due to the amount of the deduction being incorrect now have a supporting document labeled "Support Calculation" that shows the calculation SupplyPike did to determine what the deduction amount should've been.

    • This attachment will be auto-checked to be attached to disputes submitted to Target.

    • We recommend also attaching an email with buyer approval for the payback when disputing contractual deductions.

Release Notes - November 1, 2024

  • The Compliance Research report attached to Supplier Pickup Adherence and Fill Rate Original has been updated to ensure it meets Target's requirements and will help you identify why the compliance fine was charged.

    • Supplier Pickup Adherence: The report for this deduction now matches 1-for-1 the report Target has asked for and includes useful fields for root cause analysis of the fine such as the original ship end date, the supplier provided pickup date, and the booking change reason

    • Fill Rate Original: The report for this deduction type matches what Target has asked for and is now at the item level to match the level the compliance fine is assessed at

  • Denied deductions that have not yet expired now show the expiration indicator on the list view buckets to easily see how much time is left to re-dispute the deduction.

Release Notes - October 21, 2024

  • Deductions you have archived now display "Archived" below their status so you can quickly see which deductions have been archived

  • Expanded scope of contractual deductions showing in the application!

    • Added three new contractual deductions types: Endcap Fee, Enterprise Space Fee, and DVS Fee.

    • Removed a source filter from VIAP deductions that were preventing some deductions from showing up in SupplyPike

  • For Contractual Deductions where we have not been able to find any items that match the terms on the contractual details from Target Vendor Income (TVI), the details page now displays a caution icon advising to check the terms before proceeding with disputing.

Release Notes - October 2, 2024

  • Two new placements of the invalid amount of Contractual Deductions so you can easily identify the portion of the contractual deduction(s) SupplyPike recommends disputing. As a reminder, we have already updated the dispute amount on the deduction details to reflect the invalid amount!

    1. While on a list view tab, you can now sum the deductions by "Invalid Amount."

      1. Note: Right now, only contractual deductions with Target have an invalid amount, if you have other deduction codes showing in your list view these will not be included in the invalid amount sum.

    2. An "Invalid Amount" column has been added to the Export Deductions template and will be populated for all likely-invalid contractual deductions.

  • The "Multi Deduction PO" filter is now available on the Follow Up bucket!

Release Notes - September 20, 2024

  • Contractual Deduction disputing is now live! We have applied validity judgements to each contract deduction, comparing against the terms on the Target Vendor Income agreement, to classify each as likely-valid, likely-invalid, or validity-unclear.

  • To keep your in-app workflows clean, we will auto-archive any contractual deduction we deem to be likely-valid or validity-unclear. Those marked as likely-invalid will appear in the 'New' and 'Urgent' buckets for you to review and dispute.

    • If you do want to dispute a deduction that we have marked as likely-invalid or validity-unclear, simply Unarchive, update dispute amount and explanation as needed, and submit dispute.

Release Notes - September 13, 2024

    • Once a Denied deduction has expired and can no longer be disputed, it will move to the Resolved bucket.

Release Notes - August 26, 2024

  • The Follow Up tab now lets you bulk re-dispute deductions, so you can easily re-dispute denied claims!

  • Next/Previous arrows added to the details page for invoices! No more going back to go forward when you want to go through the details of individual invoices.
