Each customer, vendor, contact, and branch must have its own record for pricing, reporting, and product information.
You can set up a variety of information in your customer and vendor records, including:
Cross-references between the customer or vendor's product numbers and the system-generated part numbers.
A list of contact numbers within the customer or vendor's company, such as those of purchasing agents, sales representatives, and accountants.
Activity triggers that tell the system to send automatic email confirmations to customers when orders are shipped, or fax notifications to vendors when ship dates are missed.
A way to determine which customers can order from which of your branches, and which of your branches can order from which vendors.
The ability to receive or ship consigned inventory.
Each branch record contains information, such as:
The customers and vendors that order from or sell to the branch.
An assigned remit-to branch if a branch does not maintain its own finances.
The credit card types that can be used.
The method used to transport goods to and from the branch.
The process used to verify checks.
