Symbion PBS Deal Category

These Symbion PBS products can be allocated to a category, e.g. Department, I.E.U or Class, to allow an order to be generated. We recommend you do not use a category type that you currently use for reporting or stocktaking purposes. 

A new category can be added into Minfos from Category Maintenance

Product Quick Fix can then be used to allocate these products to a category, or each stock card can be edited via Product Maintenance or via an order in Order Maintenance.

Add a new category

  1. From Stock Manager, click the Category Maintenance icon.

The Category Maintenance window is displayed.

  1. Adjust the Category Type to the required category, for example - I.E.U.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Adjust the Code if necessary.
  4. Enter the Name of the category, e.g. Symbion PBS Deal.
  5. Click OK to save the category entry.
  6. Click Cancel to close Category Maintenance.

Refer to Add a Category for further information.


Symbion PBS Deal – Import as an order

  1. Update the Symbion PBS Deal spreadsheet to be in the below format. 

The import file:

  • Must be in CSV format, and must be in order of PDE/MNPN/Barcode/Quantity/Unit cost ex GST
  • Must contain one of the following:
    • PDE
    • MNPN
    • Barcode
  • Must have a Quantity greater than zero. The product will not be imported into the Minfos Order if the quantity is zero
  • May include Unit cost ex GST as an optional field. If present in the file, the Unit cost ex GST will be applied to the order. Where the unit cost in the file is zero or not included, the unit cost in Minfos will be used. Ensure that the unit cost value is numerical only and does not include $ sign (e.g. 1.00 not $1.00).
  • Must not include more than 999 lines
  • The headings of the CSV file are caps specific, so must be PDE/MNPN/Barcode/Quantity.
