What is a pricing & deal discrepancies?
Pricing deductions happen when KeHE pays a different unit cost than you invoiced, or applies a promotional deal that doesn't match your records.
Because they turn on a documented number — your agreed cost — pricing deductions are among the most recoverable of all deduction types. If your PO or cost sheet disagrees with what KeHE paid, the difference is owed back to you.
Why does it happen?
- A cost change wasn't updated on both sides, so KeHE paid an old or new price.
- A deal was applied to the wrong SKUs, dates, or at the wrong rate.
- An 'unauthorized deduction' — a deal claimed with nothing on file.
Is it disputable?
Yes — highly disputable. If your PO, cost sheet, or signed deal disagrees with what KeHE paid, the difference is recoverable. This is a documentary dispute, not a negotiation: attach the PO showing agreed cost and the deduction is decided on the numbers.
Backup you'll need to win it
- The PO showing agreed cost
- Your current cost / price list for the SKUs
- The signed deal sheet, if a promotion is involved

Why are pricing deductions the most recoverable?
They turn on a documented number — your agreed cost. If your PO, cost sheet, or signed deal disagrees with what KeHE paid, the difference is provable and owed back. There's no judgment call for KeHE to defend.
What causes KeHE pricing deduction errors?
Most trace to a cost change that wasn't synced on both sides, a deal applied to the wrong SKUs or dates, or a deal claimed with no authorization on file.
