Managing Certifications

The Certifications tab is one of the tabs in the Master Data option of the Rural Sourcing Management Web interface. Certifications ensure specific standards, such as agricultural practice, trade standards, labor standards, and so on. Farmers comply with certification standards through recurring farm inspections and a membership in certification organizations.

Context

Use this tab to view the certifications list, activate or deactivate a certification, or add new certifications to the system. For details on initial certification selection, see the "Crop Selection" topic in the "Installation and System Setup" section of the Administration Guide.

By default, the certifications list displays all certifications, but you can select the appropriate radio button to display only the Active or Inactive certifications. To edit the details of an existing certification, select it from the list and click Edit to make any necessary changes on the New/Edit Certification screen. To create a new certification, take the following steps.

Procedure

Click Save to create the new certification or click Cancel to leave the New/Edit Certification screen without saving your changes.
