What is a SIN and what do I do if an item is tied to the wrong one? [Rep]

What a SIN is and what to do if an item is tied to the wrong contract or SIN.

A SIN (System Item Number) is a unique identifier that links a product in Helia to the correct contract pricing and category at a specific facility. If an item is mapped to the wrong SIN, it can cause pricing errors, rejections, or processing issues.

Signs there may be a SIN issue

  • A facility reviewer rejects the case and notes an item is tied to the wrong SIN or contract section.

  • An item is showing unexpected pricing that doesn’t match your records.

What to do

  • SIN corrections require a fix on our end — they can’t be changed from the app.

  • Submit a ticket by clicking the chat icon in the bottom right corner with the item number, the DO# of the affected case, and a brief description of the issue (e.g., ‘Item is listed under Trauma but should be under Spine’)

Note: Don’t substitute a different item while waiting for a SIN correction — substitutions create downstream reconciliation problems.
