If submission of a different type of license or an expired license is attempted, EDS will reject it and return an error message, “ No matching record found for this License Name! ” For the Beer Manufacturer’s Report only the following license types will be allowed based upon the type of transaction: Beer Manufacturers Retailers (Package Stores) Consumption on Premises (COPs) 4700006 (International) 4700007 (Out of State Military) 4700013 (Samples)

8. Transaction Filtering After a license has been selected for a product transaction, the transaction type control will be changed to indicate which transactions are allowed for the license selected. The items in white and do not have an “x” are allowable transaction types. The items that have an “x” and are highlighted yellow indicate the transaction type is not allowed for the license selected. If the user selects an invalid transaction type, they will see the above validation error message. This functionality is supported in modern browsers and will work in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. However, Internet Explorer version 8 has been tested and works if the document mode is set to version 8. If the browser does not support the new changes, the new validation will not happen until the data are submitted to the web server.
