Retail
Member Statement
Every Friday a Statement is generated for
each Member Retailer. In addition to summarizing product invoices,
the Statement also includes a Central Bill and the Affiliated Foods
Midwest Cooperative Purchasing Fee.
Pricing Policy/Category Management
Affiliated
Foods Midwest
Cooperative operates on a cost-plus margin in all departments. The
mark-up is included in the order guide and invoice prices, less
any direct off invoice allowance. Sugar, Diapers, Coffee, 32 oz.
regular and lite Miracle Whip, and 2 lb. regular and lite Velveeta
carry no mark-up. For group pricing, all case labels will show a
delivered unit cost, but will not reflect any off invoice case allowances
in effect on the retail price. The retailer must decide if he needs
to reflect these allowances. There is no charge for case labels
and they are used in all departments with the exception of Repack
where we use packing slips. (Above does not apply to individual
pricing.) Individual retail pricing is available, separate from
the normal group catalog pricing, which allows local competitive
pricing where
needed at a competitive price. |
