Adding Contact State Licenses

A license to practice medicine is used to validate signatures for samples that are dropped off by a sales representative (for example, a pharmaceutical sales representative) to a contact (for example, a physician). A physician must have a valid medical license for the state in which the physician practices medicine. A contact state license record captures the license information for the contact, typically a physician.

To add a state license record for a contact, complete the following procedure.

NOTE: If you do not see the Contact State License related item section in your Contact Detail page, add that related item section as described in Customizing Related Item Layouts, or contact your company administrator. This feature is available in Oracle CRM On Demand Life Sciences Edition only.

1. From the Contact Detail page, scroll to the Contact State License section, and click New.
2. Complete the fields in the following table and save the record.
