Item Additional Procedures

In the Item database, you can now set up items as hazardous materials, allowing you to assist janitorial/sanitation supplies dealers in compliance with HazMat rules from agencies such as the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS). A key requirement is for employers and distributors to provide notice of new or updated Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or related documents when handling or shipping items flagged as containing hazardous material. Manufacturers and importers issue and update these documents to communicate precautions for storage, exposure, and disposal. The Item Additional Info tab allows you to create, view, edit, and delete I-JANSAN records for each item as needed. This includes the current issue date for the HazMat item's MSDS or related documents, and the Hazard Special text to notify customers that a new hazard document has been issued. If your customer has ordered a HazMat item, the system compares the document issue date specified in the Item Additional Info tab with the C-JANSAN issue date on record from that customer's previous orders. If the customer's document issue date is older than the item's I-JANSAN document issue date, the Hazard Special text you've specified prints on invoices and tickets and the C-JANSAN issue date is updated.
