What this does
Adding a customer creates the master record you then use across Sales and Finance: quotations, orders, invoices and statements all point back to it.
Open Company
Go to Menu > Customer > Company and click Create.
The tabs
- Company. The core details (below).
- Details. Any custom fields your organisation has added.
- Payment. Payment terms and related settings.
- Documents. Attached files for this customer.
Fill in the Company tab
- Enter the Name. Leave Code blank to have it numbered automatically.
- Add the registration details: Reg. number, Reg. name and Reg. address, plus Website and a Logo if you have them.
- Set the Category and Currency, and link the Receivable ledger so sales post to the right account.
- Add the people you deal with under Persons (in charge), with their role and contact details.
- Set Status to Active and Confirm.
Good to know. The Receivable ledger and Currency appear when accounting is switched on, and decide how this customer flows into your books.
