Add a Customer Category

All categories, including Customer Categories, are used to set up a predefined list of elements that can then be applied throughout the Safefood360° modules without having to type these categories twice, or to remove the fear of an operator not knowing the correct category that should be selected. Customer Categories can be selected in the Scope of Approval section of the Approval workflow of a Full Assessment Record in the Supply Chain Management module. Examples of Customer Categories can include Retailers, Hospitality, Coffee Shop Franchises, Final Consumers, etc.
