Customer Supply Group Updates and Questions

A colleague has asked me to  understand experiences relating to pallet stability and whether glue or shrink wrap are used to securely transport ambient products.

I have just received this wonderful invitation from Morrisons in response to a let delivery for chilled goods.
How many of you have received similar, or been forewarned of similar?
Who are the contacts to challenge within Morrisons and what success have you had in refuting the charges?

As Christmas is on a Sunday and Boxing Day is on a Monday, has anyone heard whether retailers are treating Monday 27th December (Bank Holiday in lieu) as a delivery day or a day of rest (i.e. closed)?

Could anyone recommend a clearance customer for chilled?

Is anyone willing to share their experiences with the new Co-op supplier portal?

• What impact are the changes at ASDA having on your ability to confirm promotional plans and forecasts?

As part of their move to trading exclusively by EDI, Compass Foods are asking us to pay to be set up on their system.

We are in the process of agreeing new terms with Tesco via their Webform tool, but are challenged by some aspects and wanted to find out if other suppliers' are facing similar experiences.

Amazon currently request ASNs at the time of order processing (orders cannot be booked without an ASN) and request an ASN label on each individual pallet. This is not our standard practice as, pursuant to industry standard practice, we typically send ASNs at the time of loading via EDI and work with SSCC labels for all other ASN customers. 

A member some work to reduce the number of pricing claims we receive, and want to use the functionality in SAP to help do this.  This functionality compares the price the customer sends on the EDI order vs the price in SAP, and then blocks any order line where there is a discrepancy.
