Foodstuffs Price Adjustments

To efficiently implement supplier price adjustments for the Foodstuffs Group, this process requires the completion and email submission of a General Foodstuffs Supplier Price Adjustment form with key supporting documents (General Trade Price List & Letter of Justification) to price@foodstuffs.co.nz.

Price adjustments should be fully discussed with the relevant Category Managers, including changes to any confirmed promotional activity. In the event any notification is retracted, we request immediate notification, may elect to recover the costs of administration, and require all incorrect pricing be honoured until the adjustment is corrected.

Key Points of note:

• All price adjustments must commence on a Monday.
• There is a 6 week notification period (42 days).
• All items changing in price with the same effective date must be on one Supplier Price Adjustment form.
• We will no longer accept price increases not detailed on the Supplier Price Adjustment form.
• For documents that have been submitted and not completed correctly, the template will need to be corrected and re-submitted to FOBL with a further 6 weeks notification required.
• Current Foodstuffs item numbers must be included in the form. You can request item numbers by region if you require.

Exclusions

The following segments or products are excluded from this process and should be directed through both FOBL and Foodstuffs regional companies:

• Fresh Foods - Advise FOBL & your Category Manager noting these are Fresh products
• Private Label Products, including Contract Manufacturing & Tender business - email Jocelyn McCallum, jocelyn.mccallum@foodstuffs.co.nz
• New Product Introductions or changes to existing product packaging - Advise your Category Manager and supply a completed UBF
• Products that are not host supported by the Foodstuffs regional companies.

Inclusions

This process covers host supported bar-coded items that are supplied to the Distribution Centres (DC) or delivered direct to store (DSD).

• Gilmours, Toops & Trent's are also covered by this template.
• FSW & Toops have the same item numbers as does FSSI & Trent's, so you can use one column for each of these two corresponding companies.
• FSA & Gilmours are separate. You will need to use FSA item numbers in the FSA column and for Gilmours use their item numbers or an X to indicate the product is sold to them under the Gilmours column.
