Per-product compliance module overrides

Aleph derives compliance modules automatically from your product categories. Food products get FSVP, children's products get CPSIA, and so on. But sometimes a single product doesn't fit the category pattern — that's where Module Settings comes in.

How modules are assigned:

When you create a product, Aleph looks at its category and assigns the standard compliance modules:

• Food & Beverage → FSVP
• Children's Products → CPSIA, Prop 65
• Consumer Goods → Prop 65, PFAS
• Other categories → PFAS (if applicable by state)

What if your product doesn't fit the pattern?

Use Module Settings to customize any product:

1. Open the product detail page
2. Go to the Compliance & Labels tab
3. Scroll to the bottom: Module Settings (collapsible card)
4. Each module has three options:
   • Default (On) — follows your category assignment
   • Force On — require this module even if the category doesn't normally trigger it
   • Force Off — skip this module even if the category normally requires it

Real-world examples:

• Food importer, non-food SKU: Your category is Food & Beverage, but you import one SKU that's a food-contact plastic insert (not food itself). Set FSVP to Force Off to stop the system from asking for hazard analysis.
• Consumer goods distributor, niche toy: Your category is Consumer Goods (normally just Prop 65 + PFAS), but you source a toy for US distribution. Set CPSIA to Force On so you generate a CPC.
• Multi-state PFAS compliance: Your product is sold only in Colorado. Leave Default (On), but note that the Colorado PFAS rule has different timelines than Maine.

WARNING: Module overrides stick to the product, even if you change your business profile category later. If you move from Food & Beverage to Consumer Goods, your per-product Force Off / Force On settings remain in place.

INFO: Creating compliance data (a CPC, Prop 65 disclosure, PFAS report, etc.) for a module automatically clears a Force Off override for that module — the system prevents conflicts between your override and actual compliance work.
