Catalog Maintenance

Maintain Menu > Advertising Information > Catalog Codes

General Information

A Catalog Code identifies a catalog or product listing from which you sell your products to your customers. The catalog codes in M.O.M. enable you to track product sales by page and page size by catalog.

This screen contains all of the associated information for a catalog code. Catalog codes are entered with orders in Order Entry. They are also used in Maintain Stock Items to establish the product selling prices of items in the catalogs. In addition, catalog codes are used for the Catalog Square Inch Analysis report. This report enables you to report on product performance by allotted catalog page space.
