11. • Maintenance
– Add and Manage Customers
• Maintain your customer list.
– Customer Branches
• A customer must have one customer branch in order to issue sales and / or delivery
orders. If your customer is a business (instead of a person) then that business may have
several branches each with a different address. If your customer is an individual then it
is likely they do not have multiple branches. For an individual you still need to enter a
default branch in order to issue a sale.
– Sales Groups
• Define customer groupings and/or classifications. This is useful for tracking sales
figures for a particular sub-set of your customer base. This may be something as simple
as:
• Small
• Medium
• Large
– Recurrent Invoices
• Recurrent Invoices are used where you have invoices with the same Item lines that you
want to send to a customer branch or a group of customer branches on a regular basis,
e.g. rental invoices that are sent on a monthly base. Imagine you have 100 customers
that need a monthly rental invoice.
