Our company produces and sells consumer goods....we are one of the lucky manufacturers that will fall directly under the regulation requirements that will be coming with the looming CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act).
In a nutshell, it is our interpretation that we will be required to provide full certification documentation for all outgoing sales/shipments to our customers, based upon manufacturing date of the individual components…that includes the certification documentation of the finished goods AND components as well.
That potentially means we will need to turn on full lot control in OW/E1 to enable the tracking required...we're prepared for that. What I'm looking for is any feedback from other OW/E1 shops that are facing the certification and documentation requirements under the CPSIA--how are you handling the documentation requirements and relating them to the lot/item information in OW/E1 where the detail sales information exists? Are there any third party application providers that plug in directly to OW/E1 that offer an off-the-shelf solution for the document retention and imaging?
