MSA MultiCat & NSM/SPM Reporting for Tobacco Distributors
Prepare configured reporting data, validate mappings and exceptions, and give your authorized team a controlled export workflow—without making reporting part of every inSitu implementation.
Opt-in and customer-reviewed. Your company remains responsible for eligibility, current requirements, the accuracy of filing data, and final submission.
WHAT THE ADD-ON DOES
An optional data-preparation workflow—not a substitute for filing responsibility
The reporting add-on connects configured tobacco transaction and reference data to a repeatable review and export process.
It can help eligible distributors prepare MSA MultiCat / Multicast and NSM/SPM datasets from available inSitu and connected-system activity. The customer controls activation, mapping decisions, reconciliation, and final submission.
CHOOSE ONLY WHAT APPLIES
Configure the reporting workflow around your company
Reporting requirements vary. The implementation starts with the modules, programs, products, jurisdictions, and source data your authorized team confirms.
MSA MultiCat / Multicast
Prepare configured weekly data for participating distributor workflows, including agreed sales, returns, transfers, inventory activity, manufacturers, brand families, items, quantities, and locations.
- Company-level opt in
- Configured source mappings
- Exceptions visible before export
NSM/SPM reporting
Prepare configured monthly data used in applicable Non-Settling Manufacturer and Subsequent Participating Manufacturer workflows when your company's responsibilities require it.
- Selected jurisdictional workflow
- Configured product and quantity data
- Authorized customer review
FROM SOURCE DATA TO CONTROLLED EXPORT
A reviewable workflow from configuration to submission
Each stage keeps responsibilities explicit so a reporting file is never treated as complete simply because data was generated.
- 01
Confirm fit and eligibility
Your company identifies the programs, products, jurisdictions, filing periods, and internal owners that belong in the configured workflow.
- 02
Map the required data
The implementation maps agreed manufacturer, brand, item, unit, location, customer, transaction, return, and transfer fields from available sources.
- 03
Prepare and validate
The add-on assembles the configured reporting dataset and surfaces missing mappings or exceptions for the authorized team to review.
- 04
Review and export
Your authorized team reconciles the output, confirms current requirements, and controls the final file export and submission process.
CONFIGURED DATA COVERAGE
Bring the right operational fields into one review
The exact data set depends on the selected module, connected sources, customer configuration, and current reporting requirements.
Manufacturer and brand data
Configured manufacturer identifiers, brand families, product classifications, and item mappings.
Eligible transaction activity
Configured sales, returns, transfers, adjustments, and related quantities for the selected reporting period.
Items, units, and quantities
Product, unit-of-measure, pack, carton, case, and other agreed quantity conversions used in the workflow.
Customers and locations
Approved company, ship-to, warehouse, route, and jurisdictional fields available from connected sources.
Validation and exceptions
Missing mappings, unexpected values, and reconciliation checks that require review before export.
Controlled output
A configured reporting file prepared for review by the distributor's authorized team—not automatic filing.
RESPONSIBILITIES STAY CLEAR
Technology prepares the workflow. Your authorized team controls the filing.
inSitu reporting tools support configured data preparation, review, reconciliation, and export. They do not determine whether a company must file, replace legal or tax advice, guarantee compliance, or submit a report on the distributor's behalf.
- Confirm company eligibility and applicable programs
- Maintain current source data and mappings
- Review exceptions, quantities, and output
- Approve and submit under current requirements
