Sales restrictions prevents products from being sold to unauthorized customers and enables your company to comply with the product restrictions mandated by government entities, distributors, or vendors.
Sourcing restrictions allows you to create and maintain restriction records that enable you to maintain the terms of your purchasing agreements. Product sourcing restrictions are typically mandated by vendors to prevent gray market conditions, which is the legal distribution of a product that is unauthorized or unintended by the manufacturer. Purchasing agreements often identify which warehouses, based on location, are authorized to purchase the product, and restrict other warehouses from purchasing directly from the vendor.
