Third party information

  1. Enter the mandatory information in the fields marked with an asterisk.
    If you have activated automatic numbering for the specified third party then the Code field will be automatically populated.
    The third party Code cannot be modified after validation. If there is an error with the third party Code, you will have to delete the third party and create it again.
  2. Provide further information in the optional fields as necessary for your business. This includes information about tax identification numbers and the classification code of economic activities based on the country the customer or supplier is based in.
    EU VAT number
    The structure of the EU VAT number is country specific.
    Purchase account
    This information applies only to Suppliers and will determine the account that is automatically proposed when using the Purchase invoices functions.
  3. Provide a Main address for customers and suppliers. This is necessary for the creation of sales invoices and is used as the Default delivery address and billing address.
    If the Main address is missing or incomplete, you will not be able to add additional addresses in the Addresses tab.

    Designating a separate billing address
    To post an invoice, it is necessary to include a full billing address for your customer in the document. You can designate a separate default billing address from your Main address in the Addresses tab. Simply create a second address and then select the Default delivery address checkbox for one of them. The address without this designation will become your default billing address.
  4. Optionally, complete the information for the Main contact (address, phone, e-mail, website).
    You can specify for which correspondence Type the e-mail address will be used.
    You can specify more than one address to cover cases where the main address is different from the delivery address or where there is more than one delivery address. You can define these on the tab Addresses.
  5. Save the Main contact (Accept).
  6. Save the third party (Create) or go to the next tab.

To add contacts for a third party:

  2. Add a contact to the third party.
  3. Fill in the contact information (address, telephone, e-mail, website).
    You can specify for which correspondence Type the e-mail address will be used.

  1. Go to the Addresses tab.
  2. Add as many addresses as needed.

Sales terms and conditions

You can define the terms and conditions that apply when selling to a specific customer, and how you want to set up the sales document creation for this customer.
