# Product Client Restrictions

Limit a product to the clients you choose, so other clients' projects can't use it.

Some products are made for one client only, such as their own branded stock, and quoting them to anyone else is a mistake you'd rather not make. Client restrictions in OrderEazi limit a product to the clients you choose. Every other client's projects can't use it, and OrderEazi tells you which open projects already have it.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Edit Products** permission, in the **Products** permission group. By default, every product is available to every client.

### How to restrict a product to certain clients

1. Open the product with **Edit**.
2. Under **Client Restrictions**, type in **Search for a client...** and choose each client who may buy it.
3. Select **Save**.

The product can now only be used on projects for those clients. To remove a client, remove their name from the list. To make the product available to everyone again, remove every client.

When you save, OrderEazi checks open projects for lines with this product where the client is no longer allowed. It removes those lines, and you see how many lines were removed across how many projects. Lines on projects with a sales order aren't removed: check those projects yourself.

**Example:** You make a branded cap, CAP-ACME, for Acme Ltd only. You add Acme Ltd under **Client Restrictions** and save. A rep quoting another client can't add CAP-ACME, and a line with it on another client's open quote is removed.

### What happens on a project

* **Adding the product:** On a project for another client, OrderEazi refuses with "This product is not available for the selected client."
* **Changing the client:** If you change a project's client and some products aren't allowed for the new one, OrderEazi tells you how many lines are affected, and asks whether to leave them or remove them.
* **Approving the order:** At the order approval step, OrderEazi lists any restricted lines. Choose **Remove and approve**, **Approve with conflicts**, or **Cancel**.

Some product behaviours let the child lines of a product skip the check, so a restricted product's parts don't stop the order.
