# Client-Specific Rules

## Overview

> **Source unavailable**: The raw source `areas/client_specific_rules/index.md` returns a 404 error. No documentation was available at compilation time.

Based on context from related modules, "Client-Specific Rules" appears to be either an alternate name or a superset concept for the **[[directives]]** module, which implements client-specific logistics customizations per owner and per account.

The Directives module documentation (sourced from `areas/directives/`) explicitly uses the title "Client-Specific Rules (_Directives_)" - suggesting these are the same capability.

## What is covered by this concept

Client-specific rules in EasyWMS are implemented through two mechanisms:

1. **Directives** (see [[directives]]): warehouse-level rules applied per owner (3PL client) or per account (end customer). Covers document language, custom workflows, container type requirements, weight/height limits, shelf life minimums, lot count limits, and shipping logic overrides.

2. **Owner Extensions** (see [[owner-extensions]]): the prerequisite module that enforces owner isolation on orders and master data, enabling per-client rules to be applied without cross-contamination.

3. **3PL Billing** (see [[billing-3pl]]): contract-based billing rules specific to each 3PL client, defining what activities are billed and at what rate.
