How bars order spirits in Montana (agency item codes)

A Montana bar buys spirits from a Montana agency liquor store. The order is written in the state's own product codes, and the state doesn't know your bottle names. Lixor turns the spirits on your supplier order into those codes.

How ordering works in Montana

The state warehouse ships to agency liquor stores only, so a bar buys from an agency store at the state's posted price.

The agency store orders from the warehouse using the item code, which is the number on the state price list.

What a Montana product code looks like

Montana item codes have three parts: category, product and size, for example 199-027783-75.

Example from the price list loaded November 8, 2026.

Where the official list lives

Montana agency liquor store product information. The price list is a new file every month.

What the Copy for your agency store button does

On each supplier order in Lixor you get a Copy for your agency store button. It lists your spirits as the state's product code, the number of bottles and the product name, ready to paste.

Lixor never guesses a code. It fills one in for you only when the name and the size are the same product and exactly one product reads that way. Otherwise it shows a suggestion and you tap once, and Lixor remembers it for next time.

Lixor only copies the list. You enter or upload it yourself, and Lixor doesn't log in to or send anything to the state.
