The Compliance Master (OE05) maintains default Sales Order, Purchase Order and Warehouse Compliance Messages and/or comments. The Compliance Messages display on the following forms:

• Sales Order: Picking Slip, Invoice, Quote and/or Order Confirmation.
• Purchase Order.
• Warehouse: Accellos files.

The Compliance Codes and associated Compliance Messages are created in OE05, and are used by all of the Compliance programs:

• Product Compliance (OE06)
• Customer Compliance (OE07)
• Customer/Ship To Compliance (OE08)

The content of the Compliance Message can be modified in each of these programs, but the Code and default Comments are defined in OE05. In addition, the Forms selected in OE05 become the 'default' selections when the Compliance Code is used in any of these programs. These form defaults can be modified in each of the programs.

1. Enter a unique Compliance Code in the Compliance Code field. This field is mandatory. The code can be a maximum of 10 characters in length. You may use an alpha numeric combination.
