πŸ”ž How to Map Age Restriction IDs on PDI Essentials

Learn how to map age restriction IDs in PDI Essentials. This guide will walk you through the complete process of setting up age restrictions on your Essentials account.

Updated this week

⚠️ Before You Begin

Important Prerequisite: Age restrictions must first be configured on your POS Register before they can be mapped in PDI Essentials. The ID values you set up on the POS will be used to create matching mappings in Essentials. Ensure you have the age restriction IDs from your POS system ready before proceeding with this guide.


πŸ“‹ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Click on the Human Silhouette icon

Step 2: Select POS Settings

Step 3: Click on Age Restriction tab

Step 4: Click on the + icon to create a new age restriction mapping.

Step 5: Enter Age Restriction Details
​

In the form that appears:

  • ID Field: Enter the age restriction ID that matches your POS Register setup (e.g., "1", "2", "21")

  • Name Field: Enter a descriptive name for the restriction (e.g., "Must be 21", "Tobacco ID Check")

Click "Update" to save the age restriction mapping.
​

You can now assign items to the appropriate age restriction group when adding new items or updating existing ones. Additionally, you can use our bulk update feature to assign items to restriction groups in bulk.


πŸ“Œ Important

Item-Level Restrictions Only

PDI Essentials supports age restrictions at the item level only. Department-level age restrictions are not available in Essentials. To apply age restrictions to an entire department, please contact your POS Helpdesk to have the function assigned.
