===Local ID Generators===__NOEDITSECTION__
IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> provides a local identifier (local ID) data element for each item category or subcategory, which when used on data entry forms allows information managers to track items and Data Entry Forms entered into IMSMA<sup>NG</sup>. These local ID data elements enable data entry clerks to click a button and insert an automatically generated ID rather than enter one manually, helping to reduce duplicate local IDs in the system.
