KeHE UDR Disputes: The 48-Hour Window

KeHE issues a UDR (Unloading Discrepancy Report) at the dock whenever receiving identifies a variance, and suppliers have 48 hours to respond before the deduction finalizes. Properly-disputed UDRs win at a 73% rate. KeHE's broader dispute portal, K-Solve, accepts follow-up submissions up to 6 months after the deduction.

How long do you have to dispute a KeHE UDR?

The response window is 48 hours. This is the single hardest cutoff in the KeHE process.

What happens if you miss the 48-hour UDR window?

The deduction finalizes. What was provisional becomes permanent, and recovery moves to a different, much harder track.

KeHE's broader dispute portal, K-Solve, accepts submissions up to 6 months after the deduction. That window is for follow-up activity, not for the initial UDR response. If the 48 hours pass without a substantive response, the K-Solve 6-month window doesn't reset anything — the deduction is already booked.

What is the win rate on KeHE UDR disputes?

The benchmark for properly-disputed UDRs is a 73% win rate. "Properly disputed" carries a lot of weight: it assumes the documentation is complete, filed inside the 48-hour window, and matches the specific discrepancy KeHE flagged.

The remaining 27% is typically a mix of legitimately your-fault deductions and disputes that lose on documentation gaps rather than on the merits.

What does it cost to ship KeHE?

Two cost lines worth knowing alongside the dispute mechanics:

  • Baseline fees run 3.5% before any promotional activity. That's the floor before MCB, off-invoice, or scan-back math.
  • New item launches cost $140+ per SKU plus a 15% allowance.
