TR02.1 - Course Prerequisite

Use TR02.1 (Course Prerequisite) to define course prerequisites, which limit
participation in a course.

You can define four types of prerequisites:
 - course, which indicates courses that must be completed before
registration; - employee group, which indicates the group to which an employee
must belong in order to register;
 - skill, which indicates the skills that must be listed on PA21.1 (Skills)
before an employee can register; and
 - service, which indicates the length of time an employee must be employed
before registration.

When you define a prerequisite, you use only the fields that pertain to that
type of prerequisite. The other fields are left blank.

To define a course prerequisite, use the Type, Required, Prerequisite, Start,
and Stop fields.

To define an employee group prerequisite, use the Type, Required,
Prerequisite, Company, Start, and Stop fields.

To define a skill prerequisite, use the Type, Required, Prerequisite, Start,
and Stop fields.

To define a service prerequisite, use the Type, Required, Date Type, Length,
Unit, Start, and Stop fields.

Prerequisites are required or optional. Employees must complete all required
prerequisites before they can register for a course unless a number is
specified in TR02.2 (Perquisite Options). Employees do not have to complete
optional prerequisites to register for a course unless a number is specified
in TR02.2.
