How to Deal with Cartons Using Tobacco Scan Data

Call Type: Support Call

Call Reported On: 10/26/20

Products Discussed: Tobacco Scan Data

Problem:

Merchant: Do we have to enter Cartons separately and single packs separately. How does that work as far as the Scan data program is concerned ?

 

It might be difficult managing inventory for cartons vs packs as we get it in as cartons and few of them are sold as individual packets while some will be full cartons. 

 

Merchant: scan data items need to be entered differently because Carton has its own upc code and pack its own.

Also, there is a field for consumable units of measure where pack is 1 consumable unit and carton is 10 consumable units.

 

As far as selling is concerned if you are selling exactly cartons you can scan cartons. If you are opening carton to sell packs then you scan packs.

This way you scan exactly what you sell either packs or cartons.
