The Product Code mapper will allow LabManager to show your customer's preferred codes on special reports in place of, or in addition to your native codes. It lists a lab's internal codes in the first column, against extra columns to enter the associated external codes to be used for each customer group. It also allows for entry of different codes for each Work Grade.

 

 

Each time the Product Code Mapper starts up it will automatically update your list with the latest codes and price bands from your database.

Mapping of your existing codes

 

Each Native Product code will appear once for each of your active price bands. So if you have NHS and PRIVATE price bands you'll see a code appear twice in the list.

 

Example

Your code is in the 'Native Code' column.

 

Enter the 3rd-party codes corresponding to each row's Native code and PriceBand. The 3rd-party may use a different code depending on if a product is sold at NHS prices, or Private prices, for example.
