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#

  1. 1
    Open Customers and create a record.
  2. 2
    Enter the name and available contact and billing details.
  3. 3
    Save and review the customer detail before using it on a quote, order, or invoice.
  4. 4
    Open the saved customer and verify the billing name and contact details.
  5. 5
    Create 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.
