Wholesaler updates add new product information and update existing product details, such as supplier PDE, barcodes, shelf pack values and retail units. This update will not change your current product description, retail pricing or current unit costs. The content within the wholesaler update is sourced directly from the Wholesaler.
It is recommended that you apply automatic updates for your preferred wholesaler. This will ensure you get the most current wholesaler product information as it becomes available.
If you choose to continue to apply your wholesaler updates manually, we recommend that these are applied monthly to ensure your Minfos database contains current product information from the relevant wholesaler.
The following procedure can be applied for the wholesalers below:
- Symbion Pty Ltd (06080)
- A.P.I Retail File (01163)
- Sigma Company Ltd (19090)
