Country of Origin

Country of Origin (COO) refers to the country where a product is manufactured, produced, or grown. This information plays a vital role in labeling (COOL - Country of Origin Labeling), traceability, and ingredient tracking for compliance with regulatory requirements and customer specifications.

To manage COO effectively, the associated master data is maintained within the Item Details form.
