The Guidelines and Restrictions Module (GR) provides the tools necessary to maintain compliance with country, market, and/or application specific ingredient/product restrictions worldwide. 

What are Guidelines and Restrictions?

The Guidelines & Restrictions Module provides the ability to identify restrictions for raw materials used in specific applications (identified by keywords) and geographic locations (markets).  Statements can be assigned at either the raw material or formula level, indicating for which keyword, market, or composition amount they apply.  Then, at the formula level, a guideline check is run to determine what specific restrictions exist for the raw materials at the specific amounts in the formula on either a worldwide basis or for a specific country/region.

The guideline logic checks restrictions entered for the ingredients contained in the product and determines whether the product is acceptable for the chosen market area or application.  Options on the report allow you to either report all restrictions or only those restrictions which have been violated for the current product. The program explodes the formula to its component level and combines all like ingredients before checking against a user defined criteria to determine feasibility.
