Setting up product shipping restriction functionality

Product shipping restriction records prevent products from being shipped with invalid shipment settings and enable your company to comply with the product shipping restrictions mandated by government entities and product specifications. To use the product shipping restriction functionality, you must enable product shipping restriction types and create product shipping restriction records to validate Ship Via selections on sales orders and warehouse transfers.

Enable this function in SA Administrator Options-Products-Product Restrictions. On a sales order or warehouse transfer, CloudSuite Distribution uses the Ship Via specification to search for any product shipping restrictions that apply.

  1. Select System Administrator > Administration > Administrator Options > Products > Product Restrictions.
  2. 2. In the Enable Product Shipping Restrictions section, select the product shipping restrictions you want to enable.
  3. 3. Specify a value in the Hold Code field to be applied to the sales order when an active shipping restriction is found.
    If active product shipping restrictions or special handling codes are found during Sales Order Entry, and if overrides are allowed for the record, the operator may override the restriction or special handling code in Advanced Line Entry to avoid the hold. Warehouse transfers are not placed on hold when an active shipping restriction is found.
    Note: If you are using Operational Hold Codes, you must first create a new hold code for shipping restrictions in SA Table Code Value Setup-Operational Hold Code and specify that code in this field. Additionally, for an operator to release an order on shipping restriction hold, the operator must have security access to the Operational Hold Code enabled in SA Operator Setup-Other Options.
  4. Click Save.
