MEG refers to a grouping or set of promotions that cannot be triggered at the same time under certain constraints. MEGs are created at the admin level and are linked to promotions. They allow placing exclusion rules around an offer based on two mutually exclusive group types:

• Item level

• Offer level

When multiple items are scanned in a transaction:

Item-level - When two or more offers are exclusive at the item level, they cannot use the same item to satisfy their product conditions.

Offer level - If multiple offers are active within a single transaction, only one of these offers can be applied to the transaction.

Expand Admin and click on Mutual Exclusion Groups:

The Mutual Exclusion Groups have Group Name, Group Type, Last Updated, Associations, and an option to Edit or Delete the group.

• Group Name: Name of the mutual exclusion group
• Group Type: Refers to item level or offer level
• Last Updated: The latest update made to the group
• Associations: The number of promotions a MEG linked to
• Click ... to edit or delete the mutual exclusion group.
