Product Matching Tips (Suppliers)

When adding inventories into CleanChain, suppliers are required to match chemical products against CleanChain's product database. This step helps the system recognize your chemical products and search for corresponding conformance information if there is any. Product matching is based on product name and manufacturer. CleanChain will also show certification to help you find a better match.  

To avoid having to re-match your products, use the Copy Inventory feature to transfer matched products to new inventories.
