Verify the customer's identity#
The “View customers” permission allows inspection; “Create and manage customers” allows changes. Have verified customer name, contact and billing details.
Add a customer record#
- 1Open Customers and create a record.
- 2Enter the name and available contact and billing details.
- 3Save and review the customer detail before using it on a quote, order, or invoice.
- 4Open the saved customer and verify the billing name and contact details.
- 5Create a small draft sales document to confirm the intended customer is selected.
If a duplicate already exists, review linked documents before changing either record.
Use the correct customer on a sale#
Customer records identify the trading party; creating one does not create AR. Receivables arise from posted invoices and are reduced through payment/credit allocations.
WARNING: Check the customer identity and currency on each document; changing master data does not rewrite posted invoice snapshots.
