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.
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 is the thing to keep at zero — make clearing it part of the same routine as the weekly filing.
