Tracking Certification Registration Requirements

Paige Freeman
  • Updated

Certain requirements may need to be met in order for a certification program to be complete. Requirements can be met through one or multiple activities, such as an order. For example, a customer may need to earn a specific number of continuing education credits to receive a specific certification. The Requirements Information section of the Registration Summary can be used to track the progress of a requirement and update requirements to complete.

If the requirement type = CE, the CE credits must be earned between the registration date and the process expiration date (i.e., Trn_Cus_Transcript.CE_CREDIT_DATE must fall between Crt_Cus_Certification. REGISTRATION_DATE and (Crt_Cus_Certification.PROCESS_GRACE_DATE if not null otherwise Crt_Cus_Certification.PROCESS_EXP_DATE)). This rule applies because the requirement type = CE. If the requirement type was course, this rule would not apply. If a requirement for certification is that a person complete a course, and if the person has completed the course, regardless if they completed the course before the certification registration date, the customer would still have met the requirement. 

When a certification requirement is defined as being met based on the purchase of the product when the product is not a meeting, course, or exam (i.e., when the product is not a product with a subsystem of MTG and a product type of ‘M’,’S’,’COURSE’,’EXAMPROCT’), the system will update the requirement as met if the order line is active and the Order_Detail.ORDER_DATE falls within the certification registration date and the certification process grace date if not null; otherwise, if certification process grace date is null, then certification process expiration date. Please note that MTG products with a product type of EXAMPROD is evaluated based on Order_Detail.ORDER_DATE.

If the requirement is a meeting, course, or exam product (i.e., when the product is a MTG product with a product type of ‘M’,’S’,’COURSE’,’EXAMPROCT’), the system will update the requirement as met if the order line is active and the Mtg_Product.START_DATE or END_DATE falls within the certification registration date and (the certification process grace date if not null; else if certification process grace date is null, then certification process expiration date) and Order_Detail.ATTENDANCE_FLAG = Y.
