10 | Product Prerequisites

This article covers Product Prerequisites that can be maintained in BackOffice. Prerequisites create conditions that must be met prior to selling a Product to customers. For example, some of the Products that can be only sold to a specific age group can be controlled through this function so that the Till Operator knows if the product can be sold or not. In addition, Prerequisites can be implemented in various parts of Bepoz and will be triggered accordingly.
