Product Credit

Product Credits allow you to associate CEUs with Merchandise, Subscriptions and Issues, Miscellaneous Products and Publications.

Based on the CEU setup for these products, CEU Credits can be awarded to individuals who purchase the product when running the Generate CEU Credits tool, or when adding CEU Credits manually.

Setting Up Product Credit

Product Credit records are added from the various product profile pages, on the Credits tab, Product Credits child form. Notice that the product description, credit type, and credit amount that will be earned is listed for each product. To add CEU credits to a product click the Add button. The Credit Information window appears.

  1. Product Name: The product name is already filled in since you are completing this information from the product profile page itself.
  2. Credit Type: The type of CEU credit that you will be granting if this product is purchased must be selected in the credit type drop-down. In the example used above, a merchandise CEU credit type has been created and selected. You create credit types in Certification Setup.
  3. No. of Credits: You must specify the number of earned credits that will be received if this product is purchased in the No. of Credits field.
