# UPC Mappings

> Telling the system which manufacturer and brand family each tobacco product belongs to.

**Rebates & Compliance → UPC Mappings** (headed **Tobacco UPC Catalog**)
classifies your tobacco items into manufacturer brand families, which is what
lets them be claimed.

Columns: Product Name, UPC Code, Manufacturer, Category, Brand Family,
**Multiplier** and Status.

## Add a mapping

**1. Choose Add UPC Mapping**

**2. Pick the product and its manufacturer**

Altria, RJR, Liggett or ITG.

**3. Choose the category**

`CIGARETTES`, `OTP_MOIST` (moist snuff), `OTP_CIGAR` or `VAPOR`.

**4. Set the brand family and pack multiplier**

The multiplier converts what you sold into the units the manufacturer's
program counts.

> [!NOTE]
>
> One mapping per product, per store — the system enforces it. Two mappings for
> the same product would count it twice in the weekly file, which is worse than
> missing it.

## Cartons and packs

Cigarettes are converted to cartons at ten packs per carton. Moist snuff and
cigars are deliberately **not** converted, because counting them in cartons
inflates the claim and a claim that does not survive review costs you the
period.

## Keeping it complete

New tobacco lines arrive with every delivery. The unmapped count on the
[Tobacco Rebate Center](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/tobacco/overview.md) is the thing to keep at zero — make
clearing it part of the same routine as the weekly filing.
