When a certified stock is purchased or received from an external producer (original producer), Certification Information needs to be recorded for the Receipt Agreement Lines. There are three fields on the Receipt Agreement Line for simplified Certification Recording (only Base Certification program), and the fourth field gives information about recorded sublines when multiple Certification Registry is needed.
When an Item is registered into the Receipt Agreement Line it is checked for Certifications, and they are inherited into the Receipt Agreement Line, or into the CR-sublines. The certification status is checked by finding the corresponding Certification Program Register for the Vendor or Original Producer. („Valid from Date“ and „Valid to Date“ must match.) These inherited Certifications are updated when the „Original Producer“ is registered, to ensure that the Certified status is correct.
When a Receipt Agreement is posted into stock the created Trade Items get the Certification Program Code from the Receipt Agreement Line, if registered (usually the „Base Certification Program“). When this is done the Trade Items can be selected for delivery based on a filter for this certification. Also the „Origin Lots“ that the stock is placed upon inherit the registered Certifications from the RA-Line. (Note that each Receipt Agreement Line should get its own Lot. Mixing the same Lot on multiple RA-Lines can confuse the Certification Programs if they do not match between the lines.)
If multiple certification programs are being tracked, then the „Registered Certification Programs“ are recorded. (They are automatically created when the Item is recorded, if the Item has Certification Programs registered
