PMA Codes
Produce Marketing Association (PMA) codes can now be stored in SMARTSystem. A PMA Code is very similar to a UPC code it is just produced by a different company.
A new field has been added under the inventory item to store up to a 14 character code:
Setup
- The PMA codes can be imported using the Inventory Import program (File - Import - Inventory) using an excel spreadsheet
- One PMA code can be set for each subcategory and will override entries in the inventory table under this subcategory.
- Or each inventory item can have it's own PMA code.
- Select Use Consolidated Format for Standard Invoice under Invoice Options in System Control
- Check General UPC for Invoice Only under the Customer Maintenance screen (for each customer using the PMA Codes)
When printing the invoice it will:
- Group the products within each sales order that have a PMA code by PMA Code, Pack and Price.
- The PMA Description will be retrieved from the PMA Description table and that PMA Description will be shown instead of the product description.
- The total quantity for all products of the same PMA code with the same pack and price will be shown and totaled.
- The PMA Code and the barcode containing the PMA Code will be shown on its own line below the PMA Code description and quantity line like it is now.
- Group products without a PMA code Subcategory code, pack and price.
- The Subcategory description will be retrieved from the Subcategory table and printed with the total quantity for all items with the same subcategory code, pack and price.
- The General UPC text and General UPC Barcode will be printed on a separate line below the subcategory and quantity line.
