Manchester catalogue records should be matched by exact name and SKU, not by colour alone. Packaging can look similar while the recorded variant is different. This guide uses the live Manchester catalogue to separate stable identity fields from changing store conditions.
Start with the complete product title
Read every word in the title before comparing listings. A reference such as Manchester Light Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) includes the brand, variant and sale unit. Removing the variant wording can turn two different records into an apparent match.
Use the SKU as the record key
The SKU provides a compact identifier for the exact catalogue entry. Manchester Light Blue is recorded as SS-208, while Manchester United Kingdom Double Drive is recorded as SS-1779. If the SKU differs, treat the listings as different records even when the packaging shares colours or layout.
Confirm the sale unit before price
After the title and SKU match, confirm that the displayed amount applies to one carton containing 10 individual packs. Only then record the live AUD price and stock status. A saved screenshot is not a permanent price record because availability and displayed amounts can change.
A repeatable comparison note
- Copy the complete title from the live page.
- Record the SKU beside the title.
- Confirm the carton quantity.
- Add the AUD price, stock state and check date.
The two-pass carton comparison method applies the same order across every brand: identity first, current conditions second.
