# Best Practices for POS Naming Conventions

A famous author once wrote, "What's in a name?" Well, when it comes to creating your menu on Jane, we hope a lot!

This guide lays out everything you need to know about how to properly label products in your POS to help make mapping to the Jane catalog as seamless and easy as possible.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that updating product names in your POS can cause products to temporarily drop from your Jane menu - don't worry, they'll be added right back! This is especially important to keep in mind if you ever need to make updates in bulk. Feel free to reach out to your Partner Success Manager for any specific questions regarding your menu and/or point of sale. 
{% endhint %}

## **Important Things to Know**

The primary field we use for mapping from the POS is the **Name** field. For this reason, your naming conventions and practices are *crucial* for keeping your Jane menu tidy and up-to-date. Being consistent in your POS with your naming will help menu updates go through faster. Different product types will need different key details to ensure we can get them mapped quickly and accurately - we'll review each type below.

Additionally, keep in mind that many brands may have multiple specialized product lines and/or subtypes. It's vital to include these important details using the brand's verbiage in your naming conventions. 

For example, Select's BRIQ disposable line includes both an "Elite" and "Essentials" version.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3715045001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M6qajuymH1P8pDg_zNW%2Fuploads%2FXfbZ1PnqH1Kl7AxQjXld%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=22621bc2-2df3-436d-9fce-39aebe99ebfc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3715045001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M6qajuymH1P8pDg_zNW%2Fuploads%2F5S40xMni069BUlZg0Oz8%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=b41a42c2-b19e-43d9-ab32-5f2b634e93da" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If your store carries either version, here are some naming examples that couldn't be mapped to your menu because the name doesn't contain enough information about which specific type you're carrying:

❌ Select | Pineapple | Briq Disp \[2g]

❌ Select | Pineapple | Disp \[2g]

Here's what we would want to see instead:

✅ Select | Pineapple | Briq <mark style="color:purple;">Elite</mark> Disp \[2g]

✅ Select | Pineapple | Briq <mark style="color:purple;">Essentials</mark> Disposable \[2g]

And remember: if you ever want to change your naming structures or categories in bulk in your POS, please give us a few days notice so we can adjust the integration to match.

### **Anatomy of a Product Name**

You can use the following as a general example of how to construct your product name in your POS.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" icon="tag" %} <mark style="color:purple;">**Brand**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">|</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**Ratio**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">+</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**Name**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">|</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**Type**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">|</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**Dosage**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">(mg) |</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**Amount**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">(g, ml, or oz) |</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**Pack size**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">|</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**Lineage**</mark>
{% endhint %}

You can use either | or **-** to separate product details. Put dosages in ( ) and amounts in \[ ].

{% hint style="info" %}
It’s best practice to **not abbreviate** brand or strain names so your menus can be as accurate as possible. Lineage **can** be abbreviated.
{% endhint %}
