Home Depot gives you 48 business hours. Miss either one and the money is gone. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/kroger-supplier-connect-and-ralphs/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/kroger-supplier-connect-and-ralphs/ Fri, 25 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Kroger moved its dispute portal in October 2025. If your team still has Lavante bookmarks, you are filing in the wrong place. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-apdp-vs-highradius/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-apdp-vs-highradius/ Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Walmart runs OTIF disputes through HighRadius, not Retail Link's APDP. File in the wrong queue and it is auto-denied. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/home-depot-v-code-48-hour-window/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/home-depot-v-code-48-hour-window/ Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Home Depot's V Code routing disputes close 48 business hours after notification, and late filings are denied no matter how strong the evidence is. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/target-synergy-two-week-violation-window/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/target-synergy-two-week-violation-window/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Target's dispute window is 547 days, but every violation is live for only two weeks, and the long window is not the deadline that costs you money. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/short-shipment-chargeback-evidence/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/short-shipment-chargeback-evidence/ Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A short-shipped carton can cost you twice, a fill-rate deduction and an ASN deduction. Here is the packet that gets both reversed. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/edi-856-asn-explained/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/edi-856-asn-explained/ Sun, 20 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The 856 ship notice is checked against what physically arrives, so a file that validates cleanly is not the same as a file that is correct. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/edi-997-acknowledgment-evidence/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/edi-997-acknowledgment-evidence/ Sat, 19 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The 997 is the cheapest document in EDI, almost nobody archives it, and it is the evidence Walmart says reverses ASN fines. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/item-master-gtin-data-hygiene/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/item-master-gtin-data-hygiene/ Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Two retailer codes are flagged as not usually disputable because the data itself is the failure, so even a complete packet loses. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/gs1-128-labels-and-sscc/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/gs1-128-labels-and-sscc/ Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Walmart charges $50-500 for a GS1-128 label that will not scan, and the deduction is marked not usually disputable. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/first-90-days-new-sku/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/first-90-days-new-sku/ Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The first 90 days after a new SKU launch are when deductions pile up, and most of the causes are setup decisions you can still fix. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/costco-vendor-hub-claims/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/costco-vendor-hub-claims/ Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Costco turns away a truck with no appointment for a $500 fine plus redelivery, and gives you 60 days to file the claim. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/albertsons-aviss-receiving-document/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/albertsons-aviss-receiving-document/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Albertsons shortage disputes fail without the retailer's Receiving shipping document, and a resolved ticket cannot be reopened after 7 days. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/sam-s-club-vs-walmart-vendor-accounts/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/sam-s-club-vs-walmart-vendor-accounts/ Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Sam's Club shares Walmart's sign-on but not its deduction view, and the 30-day window runs while you look in the wrong account. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/dispute-packet-evidence-checklist/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/dispute-packet-evidence-checklist/ Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The required-document list for every retailer, sorted by deduction family, plus the four additions that win or lose the case. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-dispute-workflow/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-dispute-workflow/ Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Thirty days at Walmart, 180 at Kroger, 48 business hours at Home Depot, and the deadline is rarely what breaks the loop. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-recovery-math/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-recovery-math/ Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Every retailer publishes what it charges you. None of them publish how much of it you get back, so the recovery rate is yours to compute. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-penalty-benchmarks-across-111-retailers/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-penalty-benchmarks-across-111-retailers/ Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Researchers read 111 US retailers' supplier compliance manuals and found 63 distinct fulfilment errors, with a charge that misses the real cost. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-reserve-in-a-10-k/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/chargeback-reserve-in-a-10-k/ Tue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT SKECHERS charged $29.5M of retailer chargebacks to expense in FY2024. What a reserve line implies that a remittance advice does not. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-collect-pickup-charge/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-collect-pickup-charge/ Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Walmart's Collect Pickup charge is a monthly percent of the goods received, not an OTIF penalty, and no scorecard predicts it. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-sqep-supplier-quality-program/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-sqep-supplier-quality-program/ Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT SQEP scores you in defects per million and Walmart never published the rate. You can detect it and dispute it. You cannot forecast it. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/ai-dispute-agent-audit-trail/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/ai-dispute-agent-audit-trail/ Sat, 05 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The audit question is not whether the software was right. It is what was filed, to whom, on what evidence, and when. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/approved-dispute-does-not-fix-your-score/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/approved-dispute-does-not-fix-your-score/ Fri, 04 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Approved disputes refund the money and leave the OTIF score where it was. Cash and score are two systems, and filing only moves one of them. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/the-824-that-tells-you-your-asn-was-rejected/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/the-824-that-tells-you-your-asn-was-rejected/ Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The 997 says your file arrived. The 824 says whether it survived validation. Most teams read the first and miss the second. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-otif-scorecard-performance-vs-charges/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-otif-scorecard-performance-vs-charges/ Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Performance tab counts the misses Walmart blames on itself and the Charges tab does not. A gap between the two is the design, not a billing error. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/when-to-file-a-deduction-dispute/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/when-to-file-a-deduction-dispute/ Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The same source says file in HighRadius and wait 60-150 days on in-full fines. Decide by dispute class, not by slogan. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/home-depot-dqc-and-overmax/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/home-depot-dqc-and-overmax/ Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Home Depot runs V Code, DQC and Overmax disputes on three clocks in one portal, and two of them run on a fiscal calendar nobody watches. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/kroger-net-90-and-paca-trust/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/kroger-net-90-and-paca-trust/ Sun, 30 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Kroger's 2018 Net 90 letter was "not considered optional", and PACA caps covered payments at 30 days. The two numbers are not the same size. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/x12-parse-success-is-not-validity/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/x12-parse-success-is-not-validity/ Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT A cleanly parsed 856 is a transport fact, not a valid message, and the CTT count inside the file is a check nobody can refuse. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/shrink-liability-and-the-five-percent-trigger/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/shrink-liability-and-the-five-percent-trigger/ Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shrink above 5% forces a joint analysis and 100% liability, and the only public Kroger document that defines either is a 2024 federal complaint. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/eu-e-invoicing-is-a-2030-problem/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/eu-e-invoicing-is-a-2030-problem/ Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT EU VAT in the Digital Age makes cross-border e-invoicing the default from 1 July 2030, and the 2035 alignment date covers less than the summaries say. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-otif-sqep-compliance/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-otif-sqep-compliance/ Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT OTIF and SQEP are not the same thing, and confusing them costs you. Here's what you need to know before it's too late. https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-asn-chargebacks/ https://www.trydisputek.org/blog/walmart-asn-chargebacks/ Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Here's the thing about Walmart fines: they'll hit you for a bad barcode scan. Not a missing shipment. Not a late delivery. Just a bad scan.
