4. On the Code Selection screen, choose the applicable food sector code(s) (FSC) for your site.
5. Under Choose Site, select your designated Central Site location.
6. Click + Add Subsites to begin adding the locations that will be included in the multi-site audit.
7. Then choose the sub-sites by clicking the checkbox next to each site. At least 10 sub-sites must be selected. When you have finished selecting your sub-sites, click the blue "ADD SITE(S)" button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
8. The selected locations will appear under the Subsites to be Audited section.
Note: Review the list carefully to ensure all sites intended for audit have been included.

10. Choose your preferred Certification Body (CB) from the available options.

12. Select the individual who will be responsible for invoice payment.

13. After verifying all information, click the blue Submit button to complete the registration.
14. Once the registration has been submitted:
Important: The payment instructions provided in the registration confirmation email will vary based on the payment type selected.
Completed Multi-Site Registration, awaiting invoice payment and the beginning of the audit by the Auditor
Cannot Find Central Site: Verify that your organization has a Central Site and filter site type option to CENTRAL. Still not able to locate it, give us a call or send an email to info@sqfi.com
Registration Will Not Submit: Please make sure you have answered every question on the registration form, and also that you have at least 10 sub-sites selected to be billed as a part of this audit registration
Sub-Site Missing: If a sub-site you want to add is missing. Back out of the registration process, go to the Site Information tab, add the site, then return to the registration process and continue. ( It is a lot easier to go back and create the site to be added at this point than it is to do so after you have already submitted your registration.)
Why must each registration have at least 10 sub-sites? This is based on the code requirements; any additional questions on this requirement should be directed to Compliance@sqfi.com
How long before invoice payment is due? We always ask that invoices created are PAID As Soon As Possible but the invoices will stay open and available for 90 days, on the 91st day your invoice and registration will be VOIDED.
Can the sub-sites be changed once the registration has been submitted? Yes, the sub-sites can be updated/changed after the registration is submitted, but we ask that they not be changed too many times, as this can cause issues with the registration if manipulated too much.
