This program is used to add restriction definitions for various restriction types and uses the Restriction definition summarization program to update the Restriction summary file. The definitions are added against restriction types and define the parameters of the restriction. The program allows multiple lines and multiple ranges as well.

In the rules definition setup for Item Class Types IC-RIGHTI and IC-RGHTE, restriction variable can be used to select or omit delivery country variable:
On order entry, Restrictions Check program (DSO437) will check the IC-RGHTI and IC-RGHTE entries against the country of delivery. If restrictions apply then the system will issue message indicating that restrictions are in place. |
