For the upcoming Metcash Food Virtual Expo, we will again be using the Metcash Ordering System (MOS), which will take away the need for manual turn-in orders, alleviate errors and give us up-to-date information on orders as they are placed.

We will be publishing and sending the Deal Book to retailers approximately 1 month prior to Expo going live, to allow retailers time to do some homework and review all the deals and stock requirements they need. They will be looking forward to the very best deals and their expectation is that they are only available at Expo. Please ensure that your deals are offered so that all retailers regardless of size and channel can benefit from these great Expo-only deals.

All deals being included in the Expo Deal Book must be entered into MOS prior to Expo (26th April – 6th June 2021). Please note the Expo Deal Book will run directly from the data entered into the ordering system. Therefore, if you miss keying your deals into the system, you will not have deals in the Expo Deal Book. We will not be accepting manual orders. All deals are to be entered in retail carton quantities, not single unit deals.

Please take care to ensure that deals that are entered are correct.

The Metcash Ordering System is split into two:

  1. Deal Entry – The deal entry section consists of a deal details component – which enables suppliers to set up and manage the deals they are offering retailers. Deals can be either against a single item or packaged up into a deal bundle.
  2. Order Entry – The order entry component allows suppliers to enter a customer’s order, review orders placed, or view reports against order progress to date.

KEY DATES (for Deal Book Inclusion)

  • Deal Entry Opens: Monday 26th April 2021

    • There is a brief lockout period – The deal lockout period is to allow the MOS team time to review all deals entered, consolidate information into the deal book, ensuring it is communicated to retailers in a timely manner for them to review. Whilst in the Lockout period, you will not be able to view the deals you have in the system; please export a copy of your deals before system closes on Sunday 6th June, 2021. Deal entry will open again on Friday 11th June 2021 to enable suppliers to add or increase deals, however these additions or increases will not appear in the Deal Book.

The Deal Book will be sent out to retailers approximately 1 month prior to the expo going to live to allow them to study the deals and speak with their teams to arrange for orders to be placed.

NB: Deals can be modified after 6th June; however, those changes will not be included in any printed catalogues or deal books. Therefore, deals can only be improved, or new deals added after this date.
