The Product Certification program provides a means of controlling the sale of regulated products, such as dangerous chemical compounds or compressed gases that require special handling. When a customer orders a regulated product, the system requires a customer certification number to prevent regulated products from being sold to unauthorized customers.
To use the Product Certification program, identify both the products needing to be regulated and the customers who are allowed to purchase such regulated products.
Assign certification codes to regulated products from Product Maintenance.
Identify customers who are allowed to purchase regulated products from Customer Maintenance.
Note: Before you can assign certification codes to products, you must define the codes in the Valid Product Certification Codes control maintenance record.
To assign a certification code to a product:
From the Files menu, select Product to display the Product Maintenance screen.
Display the product that requires a certification code.
Use the Cert hot key to display the Certification Codes screen.
Press F10 and select each code that applies to the product.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.
