MFG Codes are a way to pre-program the Vendor, MFG Discount, Product Type, Parts Category, Unit of Measure, Manufacturer, and Product Line (most of which are required to add parts to the Master Part Listing) for use during an import from an external source file. When you are importing parts that do not exist in the e-manage|ONE Master Part Listing, e-manage needs to add these parts to the database in order to use them on a BOM during import. If your MFG Codes are not preset, you will need to manually set the values for Vendor, MFG Discount, Product Type, Parts Category and Unit of Measure and manually add the items to the database before the import will finish. With MFG Codes setup, all parts will automatically add to the database and into the Master Part Listing based on the MFG Code from the external source file without user intervention.
You must have the appropriate application right in order to use the Configure MFG Codes window. If you do not have the right to use this window, check with your administrator.
To begin, click on the "Tools" menu at the top of the e-manage|ONE main window and then on "Configure MFG Codes".

The "Configure MFG Codes for One Click Importing" window will open and you will see all previously setup MFG Codes in a grid to the left and the new / edit section on the right side of the window.

Configuring a New MFG Code
Please note that if you are working with Haworth, your MFG Codes will be the MC= + the CG= (or EG= depending on which sif generation software you are using) the CG is the Haworth SuperClass Code
Click the "New" button on the right side of the MFG Codes window and enter your MFG Code (for .sif files this will be a 3 letter code, for Spacesaver Configura this will be the product type from the XML File, or you can make your own custom MFG Code for use with copy and paste importing). Choose the default UOM (unit of measure) for this MFG Code. Choose the Product Type for this MFG Code from the Product Type drop down list box. Choose the Category from the Category drop down list box. Choose the Vendor from the Vendor drop down list box (you can type any part of the vendor name to get a filtered list of vendors then choose the appropriate one). If applicable, choose the manufacturer (or type in a new one). If applicable, choose the Product Line (or type a new one). Enter the worst case scenario MFG Discount you get from this vendor on this product type (you can leave zero if importing .sif or Spacesaver Configura (xml)). If you want to set a default customer discount, margin, or markup, you can enter a value (be sure to check the box next to the value to tell e-manage|ONE you want to apply this as a default value). Click the "Save" button.
Editing an Existing MFG Code
Find the MFG Code in the grid you want to modify and click on it. The right side of the window will populate with the currently set values. Change the values you want to update and click the "Save" Button. You can also delete MFG Codes by finding the MFG Code you want to delete in the grid and clicking on it, then clicking the "Delete" button.
